A proposed construction project aims to create a second access point to South Padre Island. The Outer Parkway project involves building a new highway spanning 22 miles. This new highway would connect I-69E to FM 106 in a rural area.

The Cameron County Regional Mobility Authority is behind the proposal. They have announced a public meeting to discuss the project.

Further details about the Outer Parkway project and its proposed route are available from the Cameron County Regional Mobility Authority.
