| Description | TxDOT is proposing improvements to FM 624 (Northwest Boulevard) from Wildcat Drive to CR 73 in Corpus Christi, Nueces County, a length of approximately three miles. The proposed project would widen the roadway to accommodate three continuous travel lanes in each direction, turn lanes, a sidewalk, and a shared use path. The existing raised center median along FM 624 (Northwest Boulevard) would be modified and a raised median would be extended to CR 73. All improvements would be constructed within the existing right of way. |
| Purpose | The purpose of the virtual Public Hearing with in-person option is for participants to learn about the process TxDOT follows, view a pre-recorded presentation and supporting project exhibits, and ask questions and submit comments. |
| Accessibility | The virtual public hearing and in-person option will be conducted in English. If you need an interpreter or document translator because English is not your primary language or you have difficulty communicating effectively in English, one will be provided to you. If you have a disability and need assistance, special arrangements can be made to accommodate most needs. Call 361-808-2544 no later than 4 p.m. CT, Monday, Aug. 26, 2024, to request special accommodations.

Llame al 361-808-2544 al menos tres días hábiles antes de la reunión para solicitar adaptaciones especiales.
