Brownlee Boulevard Project Set to Begin

CORPUS CHRISTI, TX - Construction on South Brownlee Boulevard, from South Staples Street to Morgan Avenue, begins Wednesday, October 30. Gerke Excavating, Inc. of Tomah, WI, is the general contractor. The project's first phase will be from Staples Street to Ayers Street.

This Bond 2020 project will reconstruct the existing four-lane roadway with new pavement, curbs and gutters, sidewalks, ADA-compliant curb ramps, signage, pavement markings, and streetlight improvements.

The $7.7 million project is expected to be completed by spring 2026.

A detailed map is attached to visually represent the initial construction phase, estimated to continue through mid-December.

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.
