CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — Time is ticking if you want to give Tx-DOT your input on options for making the trip from Corpus Christi to the Island. They currently have 5 options to look at and they want to know which route you think is best.
The goal is to increase mobility, from everyday travel, to emergencies and evacuations.
As we have seen, just one traffic accident can cause a major shutdown on the JFK Causeway.
Some of the possibilities being discussed include a new crossing on Laguna Madre and upgrades to existing roads.
Tx-DOT is looking to get community input now before any work is done.
