Six Points Intersection Project Moves to Phase 5

CORPUS CHRISTI, TX-Beginning on Friday, September 17, Reytec Construction Resources, Inc. will be implementing a traffic control switch as they begin Phase 5 of construction. This phase switches the work zone from the northwest corner of Ayers Street and South Staples Street to the Northeast corner of Ayers Street and South Alameda Street. There will be two more Phases (6 and 6A) after the completion of Phase 5.

During Phase 5 of the project, drivers and pedestrians should expect to see the following lane closures and traffic changes:

• South Staples Street, in the southbound direction, will be reduced to one lane from Booty Street to Palmero Street.
• The outside thru lane at the intersection of South Staples and Ayers Street is opened to allow thru and right turn movements onto Ayers Street, South Staples Street and South Alameda Street.
• The east side (northbound lane) of South Staples Street will be closed at the intersection of Ayers Street.
• Ayers Street will be closed, in the westbound direction, between 7th Street and the Six Points intersection. Westbound traffic will be detoured at 7th Street.
• South Alameda Street, in the northbound direction will be closed between Palmero Street and the Six Points intersection. Thru traffic will be shifted to the west side (southbound lane) of South Alameda Street approaching the Six Points intersection and continue this movement thru the intersection.
• The east side (northbound lane) of South Staples Street, will be closed between Palmero Street and the Six Points intersection.
• 10th Street between Ayers Street and South Staples Street has been reconstructed and traffic flow has been changed to ONE-WAY in the southbound direction.
• Palmero Street, between South Alameda Street and South Staples Street, is closed to thru traffic in the westbound direction only.
• Sidewalks will be closed within the work zone.

Safety is a top priority, so motorists are reminded to be aware of the work zone, follow the posted detour signs, or seek alternate routes to avoid delays. For the latest on the Six Points intersection project, please visit www.cctexas.com/sixpoints.
