Everhart Road at SPID Improvements Completed
Construction Completed Earlier Than Anticipated
CORPUS CHRISTI, TX – All roadways are open in the area of Everhart Road and South Padre Island Drive (SPID) as construction crews have completed the final section of the $29.3 million project.
The work included road reconstruction from SPID to Alameda Street and $3.4 million to replace outdated water infrastructure at the SPID intersection, improving the overall efficiency of the water system.
Construction was completed earlier than anticipated, with crews working through several phases and overcoming varying weather-related issues.
“We are excited to have this vital commercial intersection now fully open for motorists with improved utilities,” said Jeff Edmonds, Director of Engineering Services. “This also caps the road reconstruction project of Everhart Road, showcasing our city’s street improvement program designed to focus on major roadways in all areas of the city.”
Voters approved the project with Bond 2020, which included reconstruction of the existing 4-lane roadway with a continuous center turn lane, including new pavement, curb and gutter, sidewalk repairs, installation of ADA-compliant curb ramps, signage, pavement markings, and traffic signalization improvements. JE Construction Services was the contractor.
Everhart Road from Holly Road to SPID was also recently reconstructed.
The City of Corpus Christi is committed to projects that maintain or improve streets and infrastructure for every city resident, business, and visitor.
