According to Boca Chica mayor Daniel Ozuna, work will begin this week to widen the Las Americas Highway at the intersection with Boca Chica Beach. This area is often affected by major traffic jams, delaying east-west traffic.
The extension will be carried out in three phases and will involve building pedestrian bridges, overpasses and access roads on both sides.
It is also hoped this will also reduce the high number of traffic accident deaths in this area.
