Street flooding has long been an issue along McNeil Avenue in Wichita Falls. Last August, the City of Wichita Falls and TxDOT began a joint project to improve drainage in the area. Some of the payoff from that project was evident during May's record-setting rains.
Today, the City announced that the intersection is being re-opened today to local traffic only. A portion of the $6.5 million price tag has been picked up by TxDOT. The remainder of the project should be finished by the end of the year.
