CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas \u2014 Shoppers in the Southside have something to be thankful for this week. Huntwick Avenue is officially open again!<\/p>\n
After months of construction between South Staples and the H-E-B Plus, the city has wrapped up the project right on schedule. And just in time for all that Thanksgiving grocery shopping.<\/p>\n
The City of Corpus Christi began the Huntwick Avenue reconstruction back in July.<\/p>\n
The $954,452 project included replacing the old roadway with new concrete pavement, sidewalk improvements, ADA-compliant curb ramps, and drainage upgrades.<\/p>\n

Crews with Mako Contracting finished the work as planned, and the roadway is now open to traffic. Drivers will once again be able to access the nearby neighborhoods and the H-E-B Plus without detours, something residents have been waiting for.<\/p>\n
City officials say you may still see a flagger on site temporarily as crews clear any remaining debris and put the finishing touches on sidewalks, but traffic is free-flowing.<\/p>\n
The estimated completion date was November, and the city delivered, with Huntwick Avenue back open just in time for the holiday rush.<\/p>\n
