Avenue interchange on the south. Areas 

within the city of Corpus Christi are 

included in the study area. The project

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The US 

181 Harbor Bridge project is listed in the 

Corpus Christi Metropolitan Planning 

Organization’s Metropolitan 

Transportation Plan 2010–2035 (the 

long range transportation plan) as 

construction of a new bridge over the 

Corpus Christi Ship Channel. An NOI 

for this project was first published on 

May 20, 2005, for proposed 

improvements that included 

replacement of the existing Harbor 

Bridge and approaches where US 181 

crosses the Corpus Christi Ship 

Channel, a roadway distance of 

approximately 2.25 miles. On March 20, 

2007, a revised NOI was published to 

advise the public that the study limits 

described in the 2005 NOI had been 

expanded to accommodate added 

capacity that might have included 

managed lanes or various tolling 

strategies; the primary change was to the 

southern limit which would have 

extended the project along SH 286 to SH 

358 (South Padre Island Drive). On 

November 3, 2010, the revised NOI 

published in 2007 was rescinded, via a 

notice in the Federal Register, because
