The city of Waco is poised for a significant infrastructural transformation as the Clay Avenue and 17th Street Rehabilitation project takes center stage. This endeavor reflects the city’s commitment to enhancing roadways and accessibility. The project, spanning Clay Avenue from City Limits to 18th Street and 17th Street from W Waco Drive to Franklin Avenue, is set to rejuvenate the urban landscape.
The Clay Avenue and 17th Street project, located in McLennan County, is scheduled to commence on August 31, 2023, with completion anticipated by August 31, 2024. The estimated cost of this ambitious renovation/alteration endeavor stands at approximately $1,076,255.
The initiative encompasses an expansive scope of work, encompassing 3.69 miles of roadway improvements.

Furthermore, the project’s scope extends to underground utility improvements, highlighting the city’s dedication to modernizing not only what is visible but also the crucial infrastructure that lies beneath the surface. These utility enhancements are set to elevate the overall urban experience and contribute to the city’s long-term sustainability.
