CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — It might have taken threats from the city, but MVR Construction has finally made repairs to a stretch of Yorktown Blvd. left barely usable for months.
Back in October, the Yorktown Heights area roadway had been demolished as part of construction, but was then left neglected by the company. That neglect lead to muddy conditions, undrivable roads in wet weather, and major headaches all around.
Officials with the City of Corpus Christi say they'd been trying for upwards of 60 days to get MVR Construction to fix the road. It was just five days after that we reported the problem that the road has been fixed.
The development coincides with a deadline the city imposed. Fix the road, or pay the fines.
Now, if you pass through that area, you'll find brand new and fully solid pavement.
