38 miles of Grand Parkway are expected to open early next year — NewQuest Properties is prepping Spring Town Center for the anticipated additional traffic by adding five new pad sites to the retail complex, located off of Kuykendahl Rd. south of FM 2920. Grand Parkway Segments F-1, F-2, and G — running between US 290 and the Eastex Freeway — are kind-of-sort-of nearing completion following a flood-heavy 2015, and are expected open in the first quarter of 2016.
The new additions to the shopping center are highlighted in yellow in the map above, and the zoomed-in section below along Kuykendahl:

The 11,550-sq.-ft. pad site so far slated only to contain a Smoothie King (top right in the map above), is up first for construction, in a grassy lot next door to the recently opened El Pollo Loco just southeast down Kuykendahl:
New retail sites are also planned adjacent to the existing Sprouts grocery store:
The first structure is expected to be complete next fall.

When the great hillbilly expressway is complete, we will see much fewer jacked up pickups venturing into town to connect with a major freeway. It’s good to see smoothie king providing refreshments along the way to make this a viable route.
Pollo Loco is nothing.
