As the City of McAllen continues improving drainage throughout the city, the Main & Jay Drainage Improvement Project will enhance the local storm infrastructure and improve overall water management in the area.
The construction project will cause a road closure and detour along Main St., from Jay Ave. to Martin Ave., starting on Monday, June 23 and continuing through Wednesday, July 23, 2025, weather permitting. Work will take place Monday through Friday, from 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., with some possible weekend work.
Residents and business will have access to their driveways at all times.
The construction includes installation of new storm sewer infrastructure, including storm pipes, manholes, and curb inlets. Motorists and residents should use caution when traveling through the area as construction equipment will be present.
Motorists are urged to find alternate routes during the road closure and exercise extreme caution and patience when traveling along in the area. Motorists should expect some delays and congestion.
