Lochner will assist with various NTTA projects as an extension of the tollway authority's staff supporting construction through a comprehensive suite of services encompassing project management, engineering, environmental, and construction oversight. The firm previously served in this role from 2020 to 2023, supporting delivery of the NTTA program across the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex.
"Lochner is committed to NTTA's mission of providing a safe and reliable toll road system to meet the region's growing transportation infrastructure needs," said Phil Russell, PE, Lochner's Regional Manager and Senior Vice President. "We look forward to continuing to serve NTTA, their stakeholders, and the multitude of tollway users in the North Texas metropolitan area."
NTTA's toll system includes five toll roads, two bridges, and a tunnel. The 360 Tollway, Addison Airport Toll Tunnel, Chisholm Trail Parkway, Dallas North Tollway, Lewisville Lake Toll Bridge, Mountain Creek Lake Bridge, President George Bush Turnpike, and the Sam Rayburn Tollway serve as critical connectors in one of the fastest growing regions in the U.S.
In alignment with Lochner's commitment to creating a more equitable playing field for underrepresented businesses, the company will continue participation in the NTTA Relationships and Opportunities Advancing Diversity (ROAD) Program. The mission of the ROAD program is to strengthen the NTTA through the inclusion of disadvantaged, minority-, and women-owned business participation in the procurement of goods and services. As a mentor, Lochner will work with a ROAD partner protégé to further build their capacity and business opportunity.
