PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT

For Immediate Release

October 5, 2026

The Coastal Bend Community and visitors are invited to experience the fully illuminated path during National Night Out on October 6, 2026.

CORPUS CHRISTI – The US 181 Harbor Bridge Project has reached another important milestone with the completion of permanent illumination along the bridge’s Shared-Use Path (SUP), creating a continuous, approximately 9,500-foot (1.8-mile) illuminated route for pedestrians and cyclists.

Community members and tourists are invited to experience the fully illuminated shared-use path on Tuesday, October 6, 2026, as part of National Night Out. The SUP will remain open nightly, allowing pedestrians and cyclists to enjoy the trail and take in the scenery after sunset.

The new lighting system includes approximately 596 low-profile LED puck lights installed along the route. The lights are generally mounted 11 inches above the curb at intervals of about 16 feet. Light fixtures provide illumination along the path from end to end of the SUP. At the bridge’s midpoint, the Belvedere lookout area provides a signature stopping point where visitors can pause, enjoy panoramic views, or catch their breath on the custom bench with integrated LED lighting.

The milestone represents more than the completion of an electrical system. It creates an elevated nighttime experience for pedestrians and cyclists to enjoy the Harbor Bridge. The protected lighted walkway is ADA accessible, further demonstrating TxDOT’s commitment to public safety for all users. National Night Out is a fitting opportunity for the public to utilize the illuminated path and celebrate community connection.

Durable Lighting Designed for the Coastal Environment

Compact “puck light” fixtures were selected for their durability and resistance to weather, impact, and tampering. Designed and installed per the Engineer of Record's specifications, physical testing and analysis indicate the lights will last for many years. Routine inspections will address maintenance and operational efficiency of the aesthetic features.

Parking and Personal Safety

Parking lots are available for public use on Lake Street for the SUP South Trailhead Entrance and adjacent to Churchdale Avenue on North Beach. Maintain awareness of your surroundings and lock personal vehicles at all times.

I posted a picture of my male Lady Amherst Pheasant a month ago showing his colors coming in. Now he is looking just gorgeous with his fabulous feathers. :)

This little peafowl (really hoping it's a girl) has quite the attitude. She gets so excited when we come to the enclosure and runs around but then when we stop to give attention we get bit. Fortunately not hard but the bird is still quite young. Hopefully it calms down a little as it ages.

Join us for our production of The Addams Family, onstage September 25th through October 25th!

Showtimes: Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30 PM; Sundays at 2:30 PM

Synopsis:

The Addams Family, a comical feast that embraces the wackiness in every family, features an original story and a dilemma that’s every father’s nightmare: Wednesday Addams, the ultimate princess of darkness, has grown up and fallen in love with a sweet, smart young man from a respectable family—a man her parents have never met. And if that wasn’t upsetting enough, Wednesday confides in her father and begs him not to tell her mother. Now, Gomez Addams must do something he’s never done before—keep a secret from his beloved wife, Morticia. Everything will change for the whole family on the fateful night they host a dinner for Wednesday’s “normal” boyfriend and his parents.

Show synopsis:

Ebenezer Scrooge is a prosperous curmudgeon who believes that personal wealth is far more valuable than the happiness and comfort of others. With an infuriated "Bah! Humbug!" Scrooge summates his feelings of Christmas tidings and charitable giving, but he's forced to face his selfish ways when three ghosts on Christmas Eve lead him through his Past, Present and Future. Thanks to their guidance, Scrooge recognizes his faults and greets Christmas morning with a cheerful "Happy Christmas" before spending the day reconnecting and sharing love with those that mean the most to him.

Please avoid the area if possible and seek an alternate route."

From what I'm hearing you can exit Rand Morgan and then reenter the highway further down.
