SH 358 (SPID) Safety Improvement &
Congestion Management

The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) is working on improving four miles of State Highway (SH) 358, also known as South Padre Island Drive (SPID), extending from Kostoryz Road potentially to Nile Drive. Several approaches are being redesigned, such as reversing some ramps, moving some exit ramps back, reworking other ramps, and adding auxiliary lanes. The project would improve safety, increase mobility, and address congestion along SPID, which carries more traffic than any other roadway in the Corpus Christi area.

TxDOT held its second public hearing November 17, 2005. Business owners and private citizens were presented with the preferred option and offered the opportunity to comment on the plan. TxDOT staff and consultants were available to explain the project and scope, answer questions, and to listen to plan comments. Below are materials distributed during the course of the project.
