Officials say the Freddy Fender tower project is about 90% complete. Only cosmetic touch-ups remain before the mural is added back.
The city says crews will return once winds, which reached a high of 54 miles per hour in the Rio Grande Valley on Monday, die down. Work is scheduled to wrap up this month.
