Mercedes, TX (KRGV) — Mercedes is moving forward with four street repair projects funded by federal grants, officials said.

Crews are working on 6th Street from Colorado to Georgia avenues and Vermont Avenue from 8th to 10th streets.

The other two streets in the 2025 funding are Cedar and Willacy streets. The city said the Urban County program picks streets based on road conditions and income levels in nearby neighborhoods.

The streets are about 25 years old and have potholes, that made them a priority for repairs.

"There's a lot of streets that need to be addressed this year. The council and administration have plans to attack that aggressively and get as many streets done as possible, not only through urban county, but through the city's own funding as well," Mercedes Assistant City Manager Jonas Gonzales said.

The city said crews will post signs and hand out flyers a week before construction begins so residents have time to move their cars.

All four street projects are expected to be completed within the next two months.
