The public is invited to comment on planned improvements for Park Road 22 at a public hearing hosted by the City of Corpus Christi and Texas Department of Transportation. The hearing will begin at 7 p.m. Thursday, April 7, at the Seashore Middle Academy, 15437 South Padre Island Drive. Displays will be available for viewing at 6 p.m.
Planned improvements, which include an environmental assessment, are from White Cap Boulevard to State Highway 361 (Commodores Drive) and will be paid for with 2004 bond money. That project includes constructing two bridges for the north and southbound lanes, each consisting of two 12-foot lanes with 10-foot inside and outside shoulders and one-foot railings for an overall bridge width of 46 feet.
The total length of the proposed bridges will be approximately 128 feet. The proposed canal would connect Lake Padre (east of PR 22) with the Padre Isles canal system (west of PR 22). The project also includes lighting, striping, railing and traffic control.
