Fluor Corporation (NYSE: FLR) announced today that its joint
venture team, Fluor-Lane South Carolina, comprised of Fluor and The

Department of Transportation (SCDOT) to design and build the Port
Access Road Project in Charleston. The Port of Charleston is
currently the fastest growing major container port in the U.S. The

The project’s scope will include local roadway enhancements to
safely integrate container terminal traffic with existing traffic;
support local and regional planning policies and strategies; and
minimize adverse impacts on nearby communities, the traveling
public and the environment. The project consists of a new fully
directional interchange on I-26, Bainbridge Connector Road, the
extension of Stromboli Avenue and associated roadway improvements
to surface streets to serve the proposed Naval Base Terminal.
Construction is expected to start later this year with expected
completion in late 2019.
“Fluor has been located in South Carolina for more than 80
years, and we are proud to partner with the South Carolina
Department of Transportation and South Carolina Ports Authority to
advance this important Port Access Road Project,” said Hans Dekker,
president of Fluor’s infrastructure business. “We understand the
economic importance of commerce and statewide impact the Port of
Charleston has on this region. We believe our local team is
uniquely qualified to deliver this design-build project on time and
on budget by providing capital efficiency and integrated solutions
to support the vitality of the fastest growing major container port
in the U.S.”
