“It is always gratifying to finish a project and successfully
deliver it to the client,” said Terry Towle, group president of
Fluor’s Urban Solutions business. “This project represents Fluor’s
commitment to providing the most significant improvements to the
U.S. Highway 183 corridor since the mid-1960s.”
The Fluor-led joint venture was awarded a $581 million
design-build contract by the Central Texas Regional Mobility
Authority in 2015 to design and reconstruct approximately 8 miles
of U.S. Highway 183 from U.S. Highway 290 in Austin, to State
Highway 71 near the Austin Bergstrom International Airport. The
project broke ground in 2016.
The project added capacity to one of Austin’s most important
arterial roadways that serves more than 60,000 vehicles per day.
The project included the design and construction of six new tolled
lanes (three in each direction), new general purpose (frontage)
lanes, five grade-separated interchanges, 38 new bridges including
four new pedestrian bridges and two new direct connect flyover
ramps, along with the installation of intelligent traffic
management systems. Enhanced landscaping and aesthetics, trailhead
improvements, and bike and pedestrian sidewalks with shared-use
paths were also included along the entire corridor to provide east
Austin with multimodal connections to the community.
Fluor has been continuously designing and building
infrastructure projects in Texas for nearly 20 years and is
currently delivering the I-635 LBJ East Project and the Southern
Gateway Project in Dallas. In addition, Fluor was recently awarded
the Oak Hill Parkway Project in southwest Austin, just 10 miles
west of the 183 South Project.
Fluor’s design-build presence began in Austin in 2002 with the
construction of State Highway 130, Segments 1-4, which was
completed in 2009.
