Work along a 12-mile stretch of highway is officially underway on one of <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>Texas\u2019 most significant corridor upgrade projects<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Irving, Texas-based contractor Fluor broke ground on the <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>$671 million reconstruction<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a> and widening of State Highway 6 in Bryan and College Station, Texas, according to a Nov. 20 company news release. The project will expand the north-south corridor from two lanes to three in each direction, ultimately improving mobility for commuters and freight haulers in the Texas Triangle region, according to the release.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The milestone marks the next major step for infrastructure construction in the Lone Star State. The State Highway 6 project, awarded to Fluor earlier this year, spans a key artery that links Texas A&M University in College Station and surrounding Brazos County communities. The corridor is also part of the Texas Highway Freight Network, the Texas Highway Trunk System and a designated Hurricane Evacuation Route, according to the release.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThis groundbreaking signifies the start of an exciting expansion of SH-6 that will boost traffic capacity, strengthen regional connectivity and create a safer, more efficient route for everyone,\u201d said Shawn West, president of Fluor\u2019s infrastructure business, in the news release.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Nationally, nonbuilding groundbreakings, which include highway projects, increased <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>22.9% over the past 12 months<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a> and remain a strong catalyst for contractors at a time when <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>privately funded commercial activity<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a> is largely softening.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Flour expects to wrap up construction by the end of 2030, according to the release. The effort adds to the company\u2019s growing <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>Texas infrastructure portfolio<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a>, which includes Dallas\u2019 I-635 LBJ East and I-35E jobs, two of the firm\u2019s unprofitable projects nearing completion.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
