Harbor Bridge Project closure will impact northbound IH 37 near the Bayfront area, with drivers urged to use alternate routes and expect delays.

CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — Drivers leaving the Bayfront area toward northbound IH 37 will face a 48-hour closure starting Friday night as part of the Harbor Bridge Project work.

Officials say both northbound and southbound routes will be affected, with possible delays.

The closure begins Friday, April 17, at 9 p.m., and continues through Sunday, April 19. 

Northbound IH 37 traffic leaving the Bayfront area will be detoured at N Chaparral Street. Drivers will turn right on N Chaparral, left on Belden, and left on N Tancahua, then continue to the Martin Luther King Drive frontage road to reach the northbound IH 37 ramp at Stillman Avenue.

Southbound SH 286 traffic will also be detoured through N Chaparral, Belden, and N Tancahua, continuing to Martin Luther King Drive frontage road to access the SH 286 loop ramp.

Northbound US 181 drivers will follow the same detour route, then continue along Martin Luther King Drive frontage road and make a U-turn at Nueces Bay Boulevard to reach IH 37 and the US 181 connector ramp.

Officials urge drivers to slow down, follow posted signs, and plan ahead. For more information on the latest projects, click here.
