City to Hold Special City Council Meeting on January 18

CORPUS CHRISTI, TX – Beginning Thursday, January 18, weather permitting, Texas Department of Transportation contractors are scheduled to resume overlay work on travel lanes of the JFK Causeway bridge.

This work will require various alternating, single-lane closures through the end of February. One travel lane in both directions will always remain open throughout the duration of the overlay work. The continuous, single-lane closures are a necessary part of the construction operation. Message boards are alerting drivers to the work and the 24-hour, single-lane closures.

This work is part of the $9 million maintenance project designed to maximize the life of the bridge and to reduce the overall life-cycle costs of the bridge. The project is focused on the main span of the bridge and includes repair to the substructure, superstructure, and railing. Also, existing armor joints and bearing pads are being replaced, and, lastly, a new overlay travel surface will be applied to the bridge.
