Everhart at SPID Water Line Improvement Project
Scope
City construction crews are preparing for water line improvements at the South Padre Island Drive and Everhart Road intersection, part of voter-approved roadwork included in Bond 2018 and 2020.
During construction, motorists will have access to all businesses in the area. Traffic signs will be placed to alert residents of changes to traffic patterns.
This work is part of a $29.3 million road reconstruction project of Everhart Road from South Padre Island Drive to Alameda Street. The upcoming work includes $3.4 million in construction to replace aging infrastructure and link upgraded water lines that improve water system efficiency.
Work will be done in three phases, tentatively scheduled to begin on Monday, August 25, with the estimated completion date of the first quarter of 2026.
Motorists in the area are advised to plan and allow additional travel time to navigate lane closures.
