Spectacular Gulf Coastal Highway Proposed from Corpus Christi to Mexico City
A proposed 575 mile coastal route would run from Corpus Christi Texas to Mexico City via Tuxpan and Padre Island. The plan includes two completed Padre Island causeways, a Cameron County Port Isabel link, and Mexico Highway 25 improvements with several new bridges. The route aims to cut drive time to under 12 hours and boost cross-border tourism, with Padre Island development and offshore parks funding already under way.
