CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — The city of Corpus Christi will begin reconstructing Huntwick Ave. at South Staples St. on Monday, July 14.

The $954,452 project will completely rebuild the existing roadway near the H-E-B plus! with new concrete pavement, curbs, gutters and sidewalks. The improvements include ADA-compliant curb ramps, updated signage, pavement markings, and related utility and drainage enhancements.

City officials say the work will improve traffic flow and enhance safety for both motorists and pedestrians in the area. The project is expected to wrap up in November.

Mako Contracting will handle the construction, which is being funded through Type B street funds.

A spokesman for H-E-B says the construction will not affect curbside services, which are located near Huntwick Ave. All customers are advised to park in the designated curbside spots near the Garden Center, making it easier to enter and exit the parking lot quickly.
