Before the end of the year, traffic on George Bush Drive between Texas and Wellborn will experience more congestion with the construction of a raised median.
During the last College Station city council meeting, TxDOT Bryan district engineer Doug Marino told councilman and bicyclist John Crompton that the $2.4 million dollar project will not include a bicycle lane with a barrier.
Marino says the median is the result of too many crashes due to vehicles making left turns to and from George Bush.
Marino told Crompton a separate bike lane is possible in the future if Texas A&M provides the right of way.
