AUSTIN, TX — Ferrovial announces, through subsidiary Webber, it was awarded eight construction projects in Texas. Work includes the reconstruction of bridges, widening of roadways, and safety improvements for the surrounding communities. Ferrovial, through its construction subsidiaries, is now working on projects across ten states, strengthening its growing presence in the U.S.

“I am proud of the work our team is doing to improve the safety of our roadways and alleviate traffic congestion in our communities,” said Jose Carlos Esteban, President & CEO of Webber. “These projects position us for continued growth, developing our talent, and expanding our relevant backlog in Texas.” 

The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) awarded Webber eight projects throughout the state:

This project will consist of the complete reconstruction of 12 miles of IH-10 between Houston and San Antonio. The proposed corridor will consist of three concrete main lanes and two asphalt frontage road lanes in each direction. Throughout the project, a total of 18 bridges will be completely replaced. Construction is expected to begin in January 2024 with estimated completion in 2027.Taking place in Seguin, Texas, this project will include a reconstruction and widening of approximately four miles of existing road, along with new bridges and concrete pavement. Other scopes of work include the construction of new frontage roads, a new direct traffic connector between SH 46 and IH-19, bridges built over the Union Pacific Railroad, and side street reconstruction.With a complete reconstruction of six miles along U.S. 59, this project will consist of the construction of three concrete main-lanes, two concrete frontage road lanes in each direction, and the replacement of 23 bridges. Construction will begin in January 2024 with an end date in 2028.This freeway operational improvement project of the traffic barrier, signage, illumination, and pavement markings will take place along 17 miles of roadway. Work will begin in January 2024.The 2.5-mile project will reconstruct and widen an existing two-lane FM roadway into four lanes with a dedicated left turn lane from Indiana Avenue to U.S. Highway 87 in south Lubbock County. This roadway is the main corridor for the Lubbock Cooper Independent School District, and the reconstruction of the roadway, traffic flow, and safety will be improved for those in the district. Work will begin in October 2023 and is estimated to be completed in 2025.With the demo and reconstruction of three existing bridges on IH-27, this project will facilitate cargo movement into and around Lubbock, Texas. Because this area is a cargo route, two of the bridges must remain open to facilitate the movement of cargo, therefore each bridge must be demoed and rebuilt separately from the others.This TxDOT Safety Improvement project that will consist of installing a single slope concrete barrier wall in the median to separate the northbound and southbound traffic. With the Hydraulically Efficient Barrier wall it will also maintain positive drainage should flooding occur in the 100-year floodplain portion of the highway.Planned to begin in October and last eight months, the barrier rail project includes the installation of 4.59 miles of new median barrier to improve the safety for those in the surrounding area.
