Sidewalk and ADA curb ramp installation on State Highway 239 and U.S. Highway 277 in Del Rio reached its final TDLR accessibility inspection in August 2026. This new construction project, filed under the name SL 239 (CSJ: 0161-03-025), is now complete according to the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation record.

The estimated cost for the scope of work was $918,724, which calculates to $94 per square foot. This figure is below the county median of $122 per square foot for similar new construction filings in the region.

Timeline and Regulatory Status

Registration with TDLR occurred in November 2023, the same month plan review was completed. Construction began in May 2024, with the filing indicating a scheduled completion date of May 2025. Although that initial target date has passed, the record confirms the project passed its final TDLR accessibility inspection in August 2026. The TDLR status is listed as Inspection Complete, verifying that the accessibility requirements for the new sidewalks and curb ramps have been met.

TxDOT District: Laredo is the owner of record for this project and holds six other TDLR-registered projects in the area, with combined values totaling $46,554,969. These include significant infrastructure works in Laredo, Langtry, and Cotulla. The presence of public funds and Federally funded roadway project status underscores the public nature of this investment in local accessibility. The project fits within a broader pattern of infrastructure development in Val Verde County, where the median scheduled build window for new construction is 232 days. This project’s scheduled build window of 365 days was longer than that median, accounting for the complexity of coordinating work on major state and federal highways.

The surrounding area includes established businesses such as Russell Hardware, Gonzalez Auto Parts, and Stripes Convenience Store. The completion of these ADA-compliant improvements supports accessibility for residents and travelers using these key routes in Del Rio. The record does not indicate any pending issues, and the project is closed out with a successful inspection outcome.
