After reviewing eight bids to widen Windy Hill Road in the city of Kyle, officials accepted the bid from Smith Contracting Co. Inc. at a cost of $2.48 million.

During its Oct. 20 meeting, City Council accepted the bid from Smith based on a recommendation from LJA Engineering, according to city information.

Smith offered the lowest bid of the eight, with the highest price coming in at $3.74 million from Aaron Concrete Contractors.

Information from the city states the scope of work "includes the construction of a new 47-foot width roadway, structure improvements, grading, base, pavement, curb and gutter, pedestrian improvements, safety light, signing and markings for approximately 0.47 mile of roadway."

Kyle Communications Director Samantha Armbruster said more details on the road widening will be added soon to the city's specialized project tracker at www.cityofkyle.com/projects.
