Near El Paso, Texas, Sundt is improving a heavily utilized stretch of the Loop 375 Transmountain Road from Exit 6 on Interstate 10 to east of the Franklin Mountain Park entrance, bringing much-needed traffic relief to the area. The $61 million project involves widening approximately 3.5 miles of Transmountain Road from two to four lanes (with frontage roads), construction of four grade-separated intersections, hiking and biking trails, and exit and entrance ramps. The project also includes direct connectors from Loop 375 west to I-10 east and I-10 west to Loop 375 east.
Sundt Area Manager Fred Stone calls the project “a great fit for Sundt” because it makes use of our extensive heavy civil construction portfolio and our experience on projects that combine excavation, bridges and concrete work.
The project broke ground last February and is scheduled for completion in the spring of 2014. This is the second project recently awarded to Sundt by the Texas Department of Transportation. In June 2011, we were selected for the $24.1 million reconstruction of Fort Worth’s West Seventh Street Bridge.
Sundt’s work in Texas spans more than four decades and totals approximately $1 billion.
