The pandemic has not interrupted the schedule for the 269 million dollar expansion of Rudder Freeway between Highway 21 in Bryan and William D. Fitch in College Station.
“Working with the Bryan-College Station Metropolitan Organization, this is a top priority for them, and for us. So, the pandemic did not have anything to do with it,” said TXDOT Bryan District spokesman Bob Colwell recently.
He also says a virtual presentation on the project debuted last Wednesday.
“We are excited to get it done. The main thing is, we are adding a new lane in each direction. And, everyone who travels in that direction knows how congested highway 6 gets, so we are just trying to add more capacity to the roadway,” Colwell said.
Construction on the first phase is scheduled to start the year after next. You can click here to watch the presentation, and it will be available for two weeks.
