The Speegleville Road Bridge is among the projects that may receive funding for Fiscal Year 2022, this means improvements on traffic congestion and pedestrian access to the new River Valley Middle School.
Congressman Pete Sessions worked with McLennan County and Waco officials, Waco Mayor Dillon Meek and McLennan County Judge Scott Felton, who expressed the need for a Speegleville Road Bridge at the Middle Bosque River. This bridge connects two significant roadway expansion projects, and the federally funded improvements will reduce traffic congestion at the existing bridge, said Judge Felton. With this federal funding, we will be able to make dedicated sidewalk improvements and provide increased protection for pedestrians in this area, including students who walk to a nearby school. We are glad to be able to move this project towards completion.
