BPUB Announces Temporary Road Closures

The Brownsville Public Utilities Board (BPUB) announces two temporary road closures as part of the utility’s ongoing commitment to infrastructure improvement.

The first road closure will be impacting South Central Avenue between Boca Chica Boulevard and San Antonio Road on Tuesday, May 6, starting at 8 p.m. A portion of the right lane of Boca Chica Boulevard at the intersection with South Central Avenue will also be impacted. This closure is necessary as a BPUB crew will be installing two 12-inch water valves on the sewer force main located there. The closure will be until work is completed. Traffic will be detoured through alternate streets.

BPUB crews will install two 12-inch valves prompting a road closure.

The second road closure will be occurring on South Central Avenue between Acacia Lake Drive and Waco Road, starting May 7 at 9 a.m. and expected to continue through May 10 at 8 p.m. BPUB crews will be working with contractor Axis Power to perform transmission work at the Airport Substation.

Motorists are asked to be vigilant for road signs in these areas. All construction dates and times are approximate, and the end date and time may vary due to the nature of weather, soil conditions and job provisions.

BPUB, Texas Department of Transportation and City of Brownsville departments have coordinated on these efforts to make them safe and efficient operations. BPUB apologizes for any inconveniences these closures may cause.
