This podcast is comments from the executive director of the Bryan/College Station metropolitan planning organization (BCSMPO) Dan Rudge and WTAW's Bill Oliver.

The Bryan/College Station metropolitan planning organization (BCSMPO) has opened a public comment period regarding funding changes to four major local highway projects.

MPO director Dan Rudge says this follows federal funding changes caused by the pandemic.

The second leg of Texas Avenue reconstruction in Bryan between 15th Street and William Joel Bryan (WJB), was delayed from fiscal year 2021 to FY 2022.

Money was moved from fiscal years 2026 and 2027 to do the final portion of the Texas Avenue reconstruction from WJB to University and rebuilding WJB from the freeway to Texas.

And the start of widening Rudder freeway to six lanes has been delayed one year to fiscal year 2023.
