On Thursday, McAllen city leaders came together to celebrate the completion of a road and drainage improvement project.
McAllen City Commissioner Tania Ramirez said the improvements would add mobility to the city; it’s one of the last projects for the city’s 2013 Roadway Bond Project.
The newly constructed area connects Ware Road to Bentsen Road, allowing residents to take routes other than north and south within the city.
McAllen Mayor Jim Darling said the new project is only one way the city is adapting to the growing population.

Residents in McAllen felt a sense of relief Wednesday as crews made the final touches on a new 1.7-mile-long drainage canal that will start at Bentsen Road in McAllen.
Engineers say the construction started in McAllen and ended in Mission but residents should know water will flow out of Mission and into McAllen.
The canal will stretch from Bentsen Road all the way to Conway Avenue in Mission to mitigate major flooding.
County commissioners say the expansion of the canal will have a direct impact in collecting flood waters.
