CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas \u2014 Drivers who use Everhart Road or South Padre Island Drive (SPID) will want to plan ahead. Construction for ongoing water line improvements will begin Sunday, December 7 at 7 p.m.<\/p>\n
The work marks Phase 2 of a three-phase construction plan, part of a broader $29.3 million reconstruction project on Everhart Road between SPID and Alameda Street. Of that amount, $3.4 million is dedicated to replacing aging and outdated water infrastructure at the SPID intersection to improve efficiency and reliability in the surrounding water system.<\/p>\n
City of Corpus Christi officials say the new traffic plan is still weather-dependent, meaning additional closures or delays are possible. All businesses near the intersection will remain open throughout the project.<\/p>\n
Motorists should prepare for notable changes to traffic flow, including:<\/p>\n
No right turns\u00a0from the\u00a0SPID eastbound frontage road\u00a0onto\u00a0southbound Everhart RoadNo left turns\u00a0from the\u00a0SPID westbound frontage road\u00a0onto\u00a0southbound Everhart Road<\/p>\n
These changes are expected to cause delays, particularly for southbound drivers accessing Everhart Road. To help ease congestion, the city is urging drivers to avoid the intersection when possible and consider alternate paths:<\/p>\n
