Montrose bridge lighting gets chance to shine
Quote:
Montrose area officials have put the dark times behind them and likely solved a big funding gap to re-light seven bridges atop U.S. 59.
The Montrose Management District, Texas Department of Transportation and Houston-Galveston Area Council are poised to split the nearly $2 million cost overrun to replace lighting along Woodhead, Mandell, Dunlavy, Hazard, Graustark and Montrose - the latter actually two bridges. H-GAC's technical advisory council approved spending nearly $665,000 on Wednesday, sending the final approval on to the Transportation Policy Council that has the final say later this month.
If approved, and with a state approval also pending but expected, the project could start in a matter of months, with a contract awarded in February or March, officials said.
