Brief, periodic closures of the intersection of West Cotter Avenue and Cut-off Road are expected this week as a large crane is removed from a ferry landing job site, according to a Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) news release issued today (Monday, Nov. 3).<\/p>\n
The closures will take place Tuesday through Thursday, Nov. 4 to 6, as sections of the crane are transported through the intersection. Flaggers and law enforcement will assist with traffic control.<\/p>\n
The contractor on the job will close ferry ramp No. 2 for up to 72 hours while the crane is removed. The three easternmost landings will remain open during the operation, and the closed ramp will reopen once removal is complete.<\/p>\n
Another crane will be delivered at a later date, according to TxDOT.<\/p>\n
All work is weather permitting.<\/p>\n
The departing crane has been assisting with a $64 million project at the ferry landings on the Port Aransas side of the Corpus Christi Ship Channel.<\/p>\n
The project involves upgrading existing structures and landings, including ramps, pile clusters, fenders, counterweight structures, steel sheet bulkheads, fueling systems, electrical systems, pavement and lighting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Brief, periodic closures of the intersection of West Cotter Avenue and Cut-off Road are expected this week as…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":822,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[155,157,156],"class_list":["post-33297","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-corpus-christi","tag-corpus-christi","tag-corpus-christi-headlines","tag-corpus-christi-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33297","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=33297"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33297\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/822"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=33297"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=33297"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=33297"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
