CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — The lighting project for State Highway 361 from Packery Channel to Port Aransas is expected to be underway soon.
TxDOT officials told 3NEWS they are in discussion with the City of Corpus Christi and Port Aransas about how the price will be divided.
At this time a price for the project is not known.
State Rep. Todd Hunter told 3NEWS lights are crucial in this area.
"That's a very very dangerous road way especially at night," Hunter said.
Design and construction has been given an estimate of three years with lighting expected to be in place by 2027.
