Update: Everhart Road Water Line Improvements Planned at South Padre Island Drive Intersection
Work Scheduled to Start Monday
CORPUS CHRISTI, TX – Construction on water line improvements at the South Padre Island Drive and Everhart Road intersection is scheduled to start Monday, August 25.
Motorists in the area are advised to plan and allow additional travel time to navigate lane closures. Access to all businesses in the area will remain open throughout the construction period. Traffic signs are in place to alert residents of changes to traffic patterns.
The construction will be carried out in three phases, with an estimated completion date of March 2026.
