Paving Hope for Highway No 6 Near College
Local sources believe a fall contract may pave four to five miles of Highway No 6 south of College if proper representations reach the State Highway Commission. The paving would shorten the gap to the Navasota river and aid traffic to Bryan and the College, fitting into Brazos county’s 1929 bond plan for two main paved roads, with No 6 extending to the Grimes county line after further work.
