CORPUS CHRISTI, TEXAS – (News Release) Beginning this week, the westbound lane of Elizabeth Street between South Staples Street and Santa Fe Street will be closed through December 2025 for a reconstruction project. Right turns onto Elizabeth Street from South Staples Street, heading towards Santa Fe Street, will be restricted during this time.
A detailed map is attached to visually represent the road work and traffic flow adjustments.
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.
