Performing challenging roadway construction projects amidst live trafffic is one of Sundt’s specialties. The Cordes Junction Traffic Interhchange Improvements Project, shown above, was completed last year by Sundt and a joint venture partner near the juncture of Interstate10 and State Route 69 in Arizona.

Sundt is pleased to be performing another transportation construction project for the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT). The Interstate 10 Enhancements Project includes $7.6 million in improvements to a busy, 1.3-mile stretch of I-10 in El Paso. Sundt’s scope of work includes aesthetic enhancements to bridges, walls, and concrete barriers, plus upgrades to lighting, landscape and irrigation, and hardscape. The work began last month and is scheduled to be complete in October of this year.

“This project’s biggest challenge will be working right in the middle of interstate traffic, and the tight 180-day schedule,” says Sundt Area Manager Fred Stone. “We have to be very careful in our planning, especially with the long-lead items. TxDOT pushed the start date back to allow us to gather information that will make the work go more smoothly, and right away we discovered that some of the alignments weren’t correct. Finding that out ahead of time is a huge help.”
