The City of Corpus Christi Traffic Engineering office advises citizens beginning Tuesday, January 15, 2013 between 10:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. weather permitting; city contractors and American Electric Power (AEP) will be doing major utility work on Staples Street between Peerman Place and Hamlin Drive.

While this work is ongoing, this section of Staples Street will be closed to traffic.  Staples Street northbound traffic will be detoured onto eastbound Hamlin Drive, onto westbound Peerman Place to Staples Street.

Traffic control devices will guide motorists through the construction site.  While the work is underway, motorists should expect delays and are advised to seek alternate routes to avoid the area if possible.  Motorists are also advised to observe all construction warning signs and barricades for their safety and that of construction crews.  Access to local driveways will be maintained throughout the duration of the project.
