The Corpus Christi Harbor Bridge is a through arch bridge in Corpus Christi, Texas, that carries six lanes of U.S. Route 181 (US 181) and Texas State Highway 35 (SH 35) from downtown Corpus Christi to Rincon Point, known to locals as North Beach. The bridge crosses the Corpus Christi Ship Channel and handles nearly 26,000 vehicles daily. A new bridge called the New Harbor Bridge is under construction. When complete, it will allow larger ships to pass beneath, permit safer pedestrian transit, and reconfigure the highway interchange system in the surrounding community.[2]
