CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — Ramp reversal on South Padre Island Drive will continue this week.
TxDOT officials say the work requires lane closures between 9 p.m. and 6 a.m. every day this week. Work will include the eastbound mainlanes for barrier work along with closures on the eastbound Airline Road exit ramp and Weber Road and Everhart Road entrance ramps.
Drivers should expect delays and detours in area and should plan accordingly.
Work on the project was put in hold to allow workers to enjoy the Thanksgiving holiday with their families.
