Almost two years to the day, Corpus Christi City Council decided how to address flooding on North Beach. Now city staff has announced the project is now awaiting bids from contractors.
“People have been waiting and waiting and waiting. And it’s all going to coincide with the new bridge,” North Beach resident Carrie Meyer said.
Jeff Edmonds, director of engineering services for the city, briefed Corpus Christi City Council on Tuesday about completed and ongoing projects on North Beach. The largest and focal venture is the drainage project.
Edmonds said the $25.5M project is designed and out for bids. After deciding on a more financially manageable plan in 2022, this will include constructing a channel through the middle of North Beach with a park along the sides.
