Road construction is underway on Ruth Drive, just south of Good Hope Circle near Beach Access 21 in South Padre Island. Crews are installing new storm drain lines as part of efforts to reduce future flooding.
Project Details
The work involves a complete reconstruction of the road. According to SPI Assistant Public Works Director Jon Wilson, crews are "taking the existing road out, reclaiming right-of-ways, and creating more parking and pedestrian access to the beach and improving drainage."
The project is expected to take about five months to complete. Once finished, it should improve access to the beach area.
City records indicate ongoing street reconstruction and maintenance programs as part of broader efforts to address road conditions and drainage.
