CORPUS CHRISTI, TX— Paving work on Dasmarinas Drive from Aquarius Street to Crown Royal Road will result in the closure of the street to traffic beginning Monday, January 5, through Wednesday, January 7. Access to homes remains available during this closure.

A strong cold front moved into the area overnight. The National Weather Service is forecasting temperatures tonight in the low 40s, with wind chills expected to drop below 40 degrees by early Tuesday morning.

The Corpus Christi Fire Department (CCFD), alongside the Corpus Christi Police Department (CCPD), is reminding residents that fireworks are not allowed within Corpus Christi city limits, including all beach areas.

The loud noises and displays of holiday fireworks can be very distressing for pets, leading to significant stress and anxiety. Animals possess acute senses, making them particularly sensitive to loud sounds. This fear may result in destructive behavior, attempts to escape, or even injury.

The City of Corpus Christi is preparing for the Inaugural Corpus Christi TX (CCTX) Marathon Weekend on Saturday, December 27, and Sunday, December 28. Over 1,300 runners and hundreds of spectators will participate in the two-day event. The event is drawing runners from throughout the United States. The 26.2-mile CCTX Marathon is also listed as a Boston Marathon qualifying race.
