The Port Commission of The Port of Houston Authority reduced its original funding agreement with the Texas Dept. of Transportation to widen Port Road to a four-lane boulevard and construct an overpass at Bayport Terminal by $629,622. The original project costs, estimated by TxDOT at $16.6 million, and funding agreement, were based on preliminary design information. Because the low bid for the project came in at $4.3 million below the estimated construction cost, the port authority’s share of the total project cost has decreased by $629,622 to a total of $2.7 million. The balance of the cost is to be federally funded.
