Webber, LLC was awarded the reconstruction of I-37 in San Patricio County by the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT). The project is valued at about $84 million.
The reconstruction project will include three miles of I-37 including the direct connectors at the intersection of I-37 and US 77. Additional auxiliary lanes will increase the capacity of the road in of the event of a hurricane or other emergency evacuation. Major work activities include demolition and construction of bridges over the Nueces River, I-37 North and a frontage road overpass. The scope of work also includes upgrades to the existing main lanes, frontage roads and a public boat ramp. The I-37 bridge over the Nueces River is 1.8 miles long with 32 spans and is located in a flood plain.
“We are proud to have been selected to work with TxDOT on this vital project, which is located on one of the state’s hurricane evacuation routes. These improvements will help keep the city of Corpus Christi moving safely and efficiently.”
The project is scheduled to last about 65 months with construction anticipated to begin in September 2021.
