WORK CONTINUES ON OPI DESPITE THE COLD AND WET WEATHER

(Ed.'s Note: Originally projected to last two weeks, the scarifying and repaving of the stretch of Old Port Isabel Road between East Price Road and Coffee Port Road – Jaime Zapata – may stretch a few days over the schedule due to inclement weather, according to workers on the job.

For about that long, motorists have had to endure single-lane driving and delays as the crew tries to work around the cold and rain. Workers urge patience and advise drivers to seek alternative routes to avoid the congestion.

This is the same crew that repaved East Price between Paredes Line and the expressway a few months ago and the result was a huge improvement.  With warm weather forecast for the rest of the week and into next, give them just a few more days.)

I live in that area and NOT on Creekbend or Land O'lakes. I only have ONE EXIT every morning. Brownsville drivers expect you to drive 40 in a zone of 30, drive like there is no construction and they even get angry at you if you don't. Imagine when it is finished how wild the burning of the tires is going to get.

Find another route? That's a joke, there are none in Brownsville. Where were the traffic cops aka motorcycle cops directing traffic in the morning? That's too much for the cops to do early morning.
The cops are Giving tickets to old people for diving too slow .
