To improve congestion and connectivity across Dallas, Texas, a £670 million contract to increase the number of general-purpose lanes and construct nine crossings has been awarded to Balfour Beatty.
Upon completion, the 2.3-mile section of the Interstate 30 (I-30) route on the east side of Dallas will increase the number of general-purpose lanes from six to 12.
In addition, the company will construct nine crossings, linking the I-30 with the Southern Gateway, the I-35E Lowest Stemmons, and The Horseshoe, all of which Balfour Beatty has completed on behalf of the Texas Department of Transportation over the last five years.
Leo Quinn, Balfour Beatty Group Chief Executive, said: “This contract award marks a significant milestone in Balfour Beatty’s 30-year partnership with the Texas Department of Transportation and our proven track record of successful project delivery.
“With decades of experience executing complex roadway projects in Dallas, and an in-depth understanding of the region’s infrastructure, we are uniquely positioned to deliver these essential improvements. This work will not only enhance connectivity and reduce congestion but also foster long-term economic growth and opportunity across the region.”
Preconstruction will commence in 2026 and is estimated to last five years until completion.
