WACO, TX – The plan to convert part of Washington Avenue into a two-way street is back up for consideration at a cost of about $600,000 less than projected. Over the summer, the city rejected the initial round of construction bids on the project to convert Washington Avenue from North Fifth Street to North 18th Street after the low bid came in at $5.2 million, about $700,000 more than expected. After cutting some elements of the work, a second round of bids came in with a low of $3.9 million from Big Creek Construction. The Waco City Council is set to vote Tuesday on whether to move forward with that bid.
