The City of Celina has registered a $5.15 million street and drainage project for Ohio Drive and Louisiana Drive downtown, according to a filing posted Wednesday with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation.

The registration, dated Nov. 4, lists the work at 508 S. Ohio Drive and describes about 900 linear feet of roadway paving along with new driveways, sidewalks and curb ramps. Underground, the project includes water, wastewater and storm drain improvements. The filing puts the area of work at about 125,000 square feet.

The form lists a start date of Jan. 1, 2026, and a completion date of Oct. 31, 2027. It does not say when crews will begin work, and we did not find a construction schedule or detour plan posted by the city as of Wednesday.

Halff Associates of Frisco is listed as the design firm, and the project is identified as publicly funded.

The registration is part of the state's accessibility review. Under the state rule cited on the filing, the city must have the finished work inspected by a registered accessibility specialist within a year of completion.

Celina's Downtown Commission meets at 9 a.m. Thursday, Nov. 5, at the Celina Economic Development Corporation office, 302 W. Walnut St., where its agenda includes a development services update and a manager's update. The posted agenda does not list this project by name.
