A $12 million project in McAllen will soon expand a stretch of road in McAllen.

The project will expand Nolana Avenue between 23rd Street and Ware Road to three lanes in both directions. 

The expansion project will also include a raised median for better traffic control, and oversized sidewalks on both sides.

Part of the project is being paid for with state and federal funding through the Rio Grande Valley Metropolitan Planning Organization.

The Texas Department of Transportation will oversee the project.

McAllen city officials told Channel 5 News that construction is expected to begin during the 2027 fiscal year and end by early 2029.
