Fluor Corporation, together with state and local leaders, recently celebrated the completion of the Texas Department of Transportation’s (TXDOT’s) Dallas project rebuilding and widening 16 km (10 mi) of Interstate 35-E (I-35E) and U.S. 67.
The project also included the construction of lanes to help with peak travel time demands.
The 16-km (10-mi) stretch of road included the reconstruction and widening of both general purpose and non-tolled, reversible managed lanes on I-35E between U.S. 67 and Interstate 30 (I-30), and on U.S. 67 between Interstate 20 (I-20) and I-35E—all located within the city of Dallas and Dallas County.
The Fluor-led joint venture with Balfour Beatty Infrastructure, Inc., was selected in 2017 by the TXDOT as the design-build and capital maintenance team for the project.
“This is one of the many vital infrastructure projects to improve the I-35E corridor in Dallas in response to business and population expansion in one of the country’s most dynamic regions,” says Thomas Nilsson, president of Fluor’s infrastructure business. “The reconstruction provides traffic congestion relief, improved safety, and increased mobility. This project builds on Fluor’s history of successfully delivering vital infrastructure in Texas and reinforces the strength of our commitment to our state and local partners.”
