ANNA, TX — The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) announces the final completion of the $80 million U.S. 75 Last Mile Project in Anna, Texas, between County Road 370 to the Grayson County line.
The “Last Mile” refers to the 1-mile final stretch of U.S. 75 in Collin County that is a part of a decades-long effort to relieve congestion along the corridor.
Improvements include full reconstruction and widening from a rural four-lane highway to six lanes (three in each direction), conversion of two-way frontage roads into one-directional frontage roads, and full reconstruction of the Mantua Road/CR 371 cross-street bridge.
Aside from infrastructure modernization and upgrades, a major goal on this last mile was to remove the bottleneck effect on traffic heading north into Grayson County.
TxDOT Project Manager Mike Hudek said the area saw instant economic effects from the U.S. 75 Last Mile Project.
“As we were finishing our reconstruction of U.S. 75, we were also seeing commercial developments kicking off in the area at the same time,” Hudek said.

This area of North Texas is one of the many locations to experience rapid population growth and business expansion in Collin County. In a Census Bureau report published earlier this year , Collin County was named as one of the fastest-growing counties in the nation. Anna was ranked the fifth fastest-growing city on the list, following other Collin County cities Celina, Princeton, and Melissa.
As present-day demand continues to grow, TxDOT will continue to find opportunities to improve mobility in Collin County.
