A long anticipated construction project is almost complete in Weslaco.

After more than three years of planning, an expansion and development project for Westgate Road between Mile 9 N and Mile 11 N roads is set to be complete this summer. 

Hidalgo County Precinct 1 Commissioner David Fuentes said once the project is completed - people will see added drainage openings along the side of the road designed to mitigate flooding. They will also see sidewalks and new turning lanes.

The $15 million project is scheduled to be completed by mid-July.
