CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — A few new improvements from TxDOT's $23 million traffic project on U.S. 181 are planned to open to drivers next week.
The new southbound braided ramp and exit ramp to Lang Road are expected to be open by noon on Monday.
It's part of several changes being made to the highway to make traveling in and out of the city easier for drivers.
Once the entire project is complete about 70,000 cars will travel along that corridor in Portland every day!
