CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — Tx-DOT began work on a pavement improvement project from the Nueces Bay Causeway to Moore Avenue in Portland, which reduced the highway to one lane of traffic yesterday.
This closure led to a headache for commuters.
The project will now shift work operations to the evenings for up to four consecutive nights beginning Sunday, Oct. 4 with weather permitting.
Officials with TxDOT said work will be from 9 p.m. to 5:30 a.m.
Latest release from TxDOT below:
Motorists can expect a double-lane closure Sunday and Monday nights on northbound US 181 from the Nueces Bay Causeway to FM 893 (Moore Avenue) during these hours.
The closure is expected to be reduced to a single-lane closure the following two nights. The closures will allow work crews the space necessary to safely pave the inside lane and shoulder.
