ROAD ALERT: AVOID STRESS, AVOID MCDAVITT/BOCA CHICA

(Ed.'s Note: Don't even think about getting on McDavitt Avenue to get to Boca Chica Blvd. from the US 77/83 frontage road north. Instead of turning on McDavitt, continue along the frontage road and get on the Paredes Line Road access north or continue until you get to Boca Chica along the expressway.

If you do, you will likely encounter the scene above because the Texas Dept. of Transportation crews are working on the new medians and have blocked off the right turn lane before you get to Boca Chica. The result is a bottleneck limiting traffic to two lanes, the one on the left to turn left, the other one to go straight and to turn right. At times the limes stretch back two blocks reaching the Villa Verde subdivision. It's highly frustrating to wait for the traffic light to turn to green two or three times before you get to the intersection. You ave been warned.)
