CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — Due to unfavorable weather conditions, the City of Corpus Christi says the traffic switch originally planned for today, June 25, on Rodd Field Road has been postponed to Thursday, July 2.
City officials say traffic will be switched to the newly constructed section on Rodd Field Road starting July 2, 2020.
"Rodd Field Road will remain two-way between Saratoga Boulevard and Brooke Road and Rodd Field Road will remain one-way northbound between Brooke Road and Airline Road and Slough Road. Traffic traveling southbound on Rodd Field Road is being detoured onto Saratoga Boulevard to Airline Road. Only local traffic should continue past the intersection of Rodd Field Road and Saratoga Boulevard," stated city officials.
When city officials do switch traffic, the westbound Slough Road at Rodd Field Road's intersection will have closure for three weeks.
Traffic will be detoured to northbound Rodd Field Road during that time.
"During the switch, the free right turn on eastbound Saratoga Boulevard at the intersection of Rodd Field Boulevard will be closed for the duration of the construction. Traffic will be able to turn right at the intersection of Rodd Field Road and Saratoga Boulevard," added city officials.
According to the City of Corpus Christi, the closure of Rodd Field Road corridor between the intersections of Airline Road (Slough Road) and Yorktown Boulevard will remain as is.
"Residents who normally use this segment of Rodd Field, between Airline Road (Slough Road) and Yorktown Boulevard, will be directed to use Lipes Boulevard and Cimarron Boulevard as detour routes. This closure is necessary to make improvements to the Master Channel 31 drainage structures and other improvements associated with the Rodd Field Road reconstruction project," stated city officials.
Travel lanes along Yorktown Boulevard are opened to allow motorists to travel on both sides of the median.
The safety of the community and motorists is a top priority, so be aware of the work zone, follow the posted detour signs, or seek alternate routes to avoid delays.
