The City of Brownsville Department of Engineering and Public Works is notifying residents and motorists of upcoming construction activities associated with the Dennet Road Paving and Drainage Improvements Project, a major infrastructure initiative designed to improve mobility, enhance pedestrian safety, and modernize aging underground utilities along the corridor. Construction is scheduled to begin on June 22, 2026, and is expected to be completed by March 2027. The project will span approximately one mile of Dennet Road between Paredes Line Road and Queens Road will include several improvements to create a safer, more efficient transportation corridor for drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians.
Project improvements include: Construction of new 5-foot-wide sidewalks along the north side of Dennett Road Installation of a 10-foot shared-use bicycle and pedestrian path along the south side of the roadway Drainage system upgrades Roadway improvements designed to enhance traffic operations and overall safety To accommodate construction activities, motorists should expect lane closures, detours, and temporary traffic delays throughout the project. During construction, Dennet Road will operate under a one-way eastbound traffic configuration, allowing traffic to travel from Stagecoach Trail toward Paredes Line Road.
Drivers are encouraged to plan their trips in advance and allow additional travel time due to anticipated construction-related delays. For updates on the Dennet Road Paving and Drainage Improvements Project, residents are encouraged to follow the City of Brownsville's official communication channels.
