South Staples Street and McArdle Road Traffic Signal Improvements

CORPUS CHRISTI, TX – A contractor for the City will temporarily close the northeast corner of Staples Street and McArdle Road beginning at 8:00 a.m. on Wednesday, April 24. The work is the second phase of a project to upgrade the traffic signal infrastructure at that intersection.

The project's second phase is expected to last three weeks, and all four phases will last approximately three months.

The project includes the installation of new mast arms, signal heads, and ADA infrastructure.

It also includes several other improvements, including curb ramps, the sidewalk, new high-visibility crosswalks, Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant pedestrian signals, and push buttons, ensuring enhanced accessibility and safety for all residents.

Safety remains a top priority, and motorists traveling through this area must follow the posted detour signs to navigate the construction zone. Detours will be marked to ensure minimal disruption and maintain traffic flow.

The City of Corpus Christi is committed to projects that maintain or improve streets and infrastructure for every city resident, business, and visitor.
