Construction Begins on Elizabeth Street

CORPUS CHRISTI, TX - Beginning this week, the westbound lane of Elizabeth Street between South Staples Street and Santa Fe Street will be closed through December 2025 for a reconstruction project. Right turns onto Elizabeth Street from South Staples Street, heading towards Santa Fe Street, will be restricted during this time.

A detailed map is attached to visually represent the road work and traffic flow adjustments.

Residents and motorists traveling through this area must follow the posted detour signs to navigate the construction zone. Detours will be clearly marked to ensure minimal disruption and maintain traffic flow.

Safety remains a top priority, and motorists are advised to use alternative routes to avoid delays, remain aware of the work zone, and follow posted signs.

The full project scope consists of reconstructing the existing two-lane roadway with new pavement, curbs and gutters, sidewalks, ADA-compliant curb ramps, signage, pavement markings, traffic signal improvements, and concrete bus pads. Consideration will be given to improving bike mobility. The project's expected completion is May 2025.

The City of Corpus Christi is committed to projects such as this that maintain or improve roadway infrastructure and promote safe and efficient traffic flow for every resident, business, and visitor to our City.
