Staff planned to bid this summer; however this is a joint project with the town of Double Oak to accommodate the continuation of Waketon Road and will be bid together as one construction project. Double Oak is not complete with their design or ROW acquisition, so the project construction schedule will be delayed until Double Oak is ready to bid. The Double Oak Public Works Director for Double Oak recently resigned. He was responsible for gaining the easements/ROW for their portion of the project.
