Has anyone been checking out how the Henderson Road project is coming along?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If not, people should take a look to find out how this $2.2 million project is shaping up after nearly a year in the making.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The two narrow resaca crossings that have been a source of discontent among residents living along the road that has one of the city\u2019s best scenic pictures, is now looking totally different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Retaining walls made up of concrete and other building materials have been either built or are about to be completed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The crossing will be wide enough for two vehicles to go through and will have walkways for pedestrians once it\u2019s finished.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Los Fresnos City Council approved last year a $2.2 million package to improve the road crossings which were barely wide enough for one vehicle to get through, let alone two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pederson Construction has been in charge of the construction side of the project and the engineering side of it is under Ambitech.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The work began about a month ago on the east side of the road and will move to the west side once Phase I is finished, Vicente Mendez, a project manager with Ambitech said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

City Manager Mark Milum, who has been updating the council during his reports as head of the municipal government, said the project is going well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI have pretty good news,\u201d he told the council at its Dec. 8 meeting. \u201cWe are getting close to the end of this project.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Millum said the east side of the crossing will be closed to thru traffic for about two weeks to allow a crew to work there and that the neighbors there will be notified about the closure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI am looking forward to seeing how this is going to turn out,\u201d he said. \u201cThe crossings are being raised and this will be good during heavy rains.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
