Where is Testronics
We are located in McKinney, Texas, which is about 30 miles north of
Dallas, and about 45 miles east of the Dallas - Fort Worth Airport. Expect the drive from
the airport to the plant or area hotel to take about an hour during off-peak traffic times
and a little over an hour and a half between 7:00 - 9:00 AM and 3:00 - 7:00 PM.
The DFW Airport is rather large and has rental car facilities at the
airport as well as off-premises. The rental lots located at the airport maintain north and
south facilities. Either will work, just make sure to take the north airport
exit. This
will get you headed in the right direction. If you use an off-premises rental agency, use
their map to get you to either highway 121 north or loop 635.

How to get to
Testronics
There are two typical ways to get to Testronics from the DFW airport. Either
take highway 121 north directly to McKinney, or take loop 635 east to I-75 and then go
north to McKinney. Either way is about the same distance, (about 45 miles), but traffic is typically heavier
on loop 635 during peak rush hour. Plan on the trip taking about an hour.
Take the NORTH airport exit. When you exit, you will actually be on highway 121
north. After about 1 mile, you can either exit to loop 635 east or stay on 121.
Highway 121 route - stay on 121 for about 40 miles. You
will go through Lewisville, underneath I-35, through a bunch of stop lights, and will
finally come up to I-75. At this point, 121 exits left and merges with I-75. Don't exit.
Continue going straight. This will be Highway 399 Spur, and will turn into highway 5 after
a mile or so. About 2 miles after the 121 / 399 split, you will come upon a stop light.
You will be on highway 5, (also called McDonald). This is the intersection of McDonald and
Industrial. Turn right onto Industrial and go for about 8 tenths of a mile.
Turn left on Millwood. Our building is the last one on the left, about 1/2 a
mile.
Loop 635 route - as you exit the airport, follow the
signs to loop 635. You will stay on 635 for about 25 miles. Take the Interstate 75 north /
Sherman exit. This is a left hand exit, so stay to your left. You will then be heading
north on I-75. Continue north for about 15 miles. You will pass through Richardson, Plano,
and Allen. Take exit 38a from I-75. This exit is a big right turn putting you onto highway
399 Spur. About 2 miles after the exit, you will come upon a stop light. You will be on
highway 5, (also called McDonald). This is the intersection of McDonald and Industrial.
Turn right onto Industrial and go for about 8 tenths of a mile. Turn left on
Millwood. Our building is the last one on the left, about 1/2 a mile.
