HOUSTON, TX — Ferrovial, through its U.S. construction subsidiary Webber, has been selected by the Texas Department of Transportation to build two sections of road in Guadalupe and Hays counties, Texas, for $161.5 million.

The first of the projects involves expanding IH-10, an urban interstate freeway, by 4.85 miles in Guadalupe County. The project includes building two new main lane overpasses and three frontage road bridges, as well as reconstruction of adjacent roads and intersections at Zuehl and Santa Clara roads. Work is expected to begin in March 2022 and take 50 months to complete.

Ferrovial’s U.S. subsidiary will also build a 6.28-mile road in Hays County. This project, which includes the construction of four bridges, is expected to take 24 months starting in March 2022.

Webber is currently working on 49 separate projects in Texas and Georgia. This U.S. subsidiary of Ferrovial recently announced it had been awarded a $1.5-billion contract to widen I-35 in San Antonio. It was also selected in recent months to rebuild a section of I-35 in Texas for $81 million, and to renovate and rebuild highway FM 1960 in Houston for $70 million.
