Fluor
Corporation (NYSE: FLR) announced today that the Fluor-led joint
venture comprised of Fluor and Balfour Beatty Infrastructure, Inc., was
selected by the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) as the
design-build and capital maintenance team for the estimated $625 million
Southern Gateway reconstruction and improvement project located along
Interstate I-35E and U.S. 67 in Dallas. Fluor will book its share of the
contract value into backlog in the second quarter of 2017.
“Fluor is proud to lead the joint venture team that will oversee the
design-build and capital maintenance of this project,” said Hans
Dekker, president of Fluor’s infrastructure business line. “Our team
brings an integrated solutions approach to designing and building
complex mega-projects and our long-standing relationship with Balfour
Beatty solidifies our ability to deliver complex projects for Texas.”
Working in partnership with TxDOT, the project is slated to begin later
this year and continue for four years. The 11-mile project within the
City of Dallas and Dallas County includes the reconstruction and
widening of both general-purpose and non-tolled managed lanes, thereby
contributing to congestion relief, enhanced safety, increased mobility
and improvements along I-35E from U.S. 67 to I-30 and from where U.S. 67
splits at I-35E to I-20. The completed project will also substantially
reduce the ongoing capital maintenance demands along the Southern
Gateway, one of the United States’ primary transportation corridors.
