Residents challenge Highway 6 route change in Brazos County
Forty five landowners along the proposed Highway No. 6 reroute in Brazos County have filed suit seeking to bar the state highway commission from altering the route and to halt bond expenditures. The petition names county officials and highway engineers as defendants and alleges prior assurances of hearings and two modern highways from Millican and Wellborn. A hearing was set for May 30 in Brazos County court.
