SOUTH PADRE ISLAND, Texas (ValleyCentral) — The Texas Department of Transportation invites the public to its workshop that will focus on the second causeway project on South Padre Island.

TxDOT will also share information on the project history and the environmental studies currently underway.

As previously reported, the environmental process is expected to be cleared by 2026, with construction set to begin in 2029.

The workshop will also serve as an opportunity for the public to share their input on the project.

A virtual workshop will be available by 5 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 5, on the TxDOT website.
