- Problems with potholes in roadways
- Vehicles becoming damaged
- Hopkins Road and Vermont Street
An industrial road that KRIS 6 News reporters covered back in August of last year is continuing to cause major problems for some companies near the airport.
On the Westside of Corpus Christi, Hopkins Road and the corner of Vermont Street is riddled with deep potholes which have caused damages to several vehicles.
When the city was alerted of the problems with the street last year, the city of Corpus Christi sent out crews to patch up the roads. However, the patches over the potholes eroded a week after they addressed the road issues.
This led to a Google Maps vehicle losing it’s front bumper only a couple of months later.
The owners of Turbomachinery Industries have made complaints to the city in the past because of damage they’ve also suffered to their vehicles.
Longtime employees said that the roads have been beaten and battered over the past two decades and it has taken a toll on them.
