South-Point Constructors is pleased to announce that we have been conditionally selected as the successful proponent to deliver TxDOT’s SE Connector Design Build Project.
South-Point Constructors, a joint venture between Kiewit Infrastructure South Co. and Austin Bridge & Road, is committed to providing meaningful and equitable opportunities for a broad range of small and diverse businesses in the local community.
As we prepare to enter the design phase, we are seeking opportunities to engage with companies who are interested in performing design/professional services scopes on the project. In the coming weeks, we will be working diligently to identify firms whose qualifications and capabilities align with opportunities within the following design disciplines:
- Roadway Design
- Noise Wall Design
- Drainage Design
- Structures Design
- StormWater Pollution Prevention Plans (SW3P)
- Maintenance of Traffic (MOT)
- Signing and Pavement Markings
Please note: At this stage of the project, we are currently seeking firms interested in providing design and professional services only.
About The Project
The Southeast Connector is a design-build Project in the Fort Worth District consisting of approximately 16.6 miles of non-tolled improvements to I-20 from Forest Hill Drive to Park Springs Boulevard, to I-820 from I-20 to Brentwood Stair Road, and to US 287 from Bishop Street to Sublett Road. The Project components include the design, construction and maintenance of the roadways, which includes the following:
- I-20 from Forest Hill Drive to Park Springs Boulevard: construction of one additional general-purpose lane, plus four-lane collector-distributors, in each direction; the reconstruction and realignment of existing GPLs, frontage roads, US 287/I-20 interchange, and on- and off-ramps.
- I-820 from I-20 to Brentwood Stair Road: construction of two additional general-purpose lanes, plus one additional frontage road lane, in each direction; the reconstruction and realignment of existing GPLs, frontage roads, I-20/I-820 interchange, SP 303/I-820 interchange, US 180/I-820 interchange, and on- and off-ramps.
- US 287 from Bishop Street to Sublett Road: construction of one additional general-purpose lane in each direction; the reconstruction and realignment of existing general-purpose lanes, frontage roads, US 287/I-820 interchange, and on- and off-ramps.
PROJECT OBJECTIVES
The following objectives have been developed by TxDOT for Southeast Connector:
- Improve overall mobility, operational efficiency, accessibility, safety, and emergency response within the area by providing additional capacity to meet current and future travel demands.
- Minimize delays to the traveling public and inconvenience to the surrounding communities while maximizing safety in the corridor during construction.
- Facilitate long-term congestion management and relief in the corridor by accommodating the movement of people and goods for multiple modes of travel.
- Improve connectivity within the Project area to adjacent parcels by increasing multi-modal transportation facilities within the Project area.
