This design-build project includes replacement of the existing Harbor Bridge and reconstruction of portions of US 181, I-37 and the Crosstown Expressway—a total of 6.44 miles of bridge and connecting roadway.
The bridge will include six-lane sections of US 181; three lanes in each direction with a median barrier, shoulders, and a bicycle and pedestrian shared-use path. Additionally, the project includes the reconstruction of approximately 1.6 miles of I-37, reconstruction of approximately 1 mile of the Crosstown Expressway, and demolition of the existing Harbor Bridge. This approximately $1 billion bridge project also has 8 miles of new and rehabilitated pavement for the main lanes, frontage roads and city streets.
Transtec Results
Transtec produced effective asphalt pavement design plans in a timely manner that suited the needs of both the developer and the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT). We optimized meeting time by coming to the table prepared with the right answer and a proper model for design. Eliminating the need to research, back-check, and schedule excessive follow-up meetings expedited the process and proved to be cost-effective.
