But don’t look for construc tion signs for at least 18 months. Bill G. Bockman of the State Department of Highways and Public Transportation said it will take that long for the City of Col lege Station and Brazos County to appraise and purchase the right-of-way needed to expand the existing highway. Only after the right-of-way is purchased can the construction plans be drawn up and bids for contracting be taken. Once con struction begins, it should take two years to complete and that will only be the northern section from College Station to Peach Creek. The appraisal and acquisition of land in the southern section from Peach Creek to the Nava sota River will be started after the construction on the north ern section has begun. When the total project is com pleted, Highway 6 from the in terchange of Texas Avenue and Highway 6 in College Station to the Navasota River will have been upgraded. Estimated cost of the project is $28.5 million, Bockmon said. “Highway 6 will be widened by approximately 250 feet,” Bockmon said. “On the express way section, the Highway De partment will build a concrete barrier median, four 12-foot lanes for travel, two 10-foot shoulders and a two way fron tage road on each side of the expressway.” Bockmon also said the High way Department will be acquir ing land to expand interchanges at Rock Prairie, Peach Creek and Green Prairie and for a fu ture interchange at EM 159.
