Bruce Bugg, Jr. and TxDOT District Engineer Gina Gallegos, P.E., followed by remarks from Texas State Senators Donna Campbell and Jose Menendez, and State Representatives John Kuempel, Barbara Gervin-Hawkins, Steve Allison and Elizabeth &#8220;Liz&#8221; Campos.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"ms-rteFontSize-2\">The<\/span><span class=\"fontColorThemePrimary ms-rteFontSize-2\">\u00a0<strong>$1.5 billion<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ms-rteFontSize-2\">\u00a0Texas Clear Lanes project aims to increase mobility, reduce congestion and improve driver safety with 9.5 miles of non-tolled transportation improvements along I-35 from I-410 North in Bexar County to FM 3009 in Guadalupe County.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dot.state.tx.us\/texasclearlanes\/index.html\" data-cke-saved-href=\"https:\/\/www.dot.state.tx.us\/texasclearlanes\/index.html\"><span class=\"ms-rteFontSize-2\">Texas Clear Lanes<\/span><\/a><span class=\"ms-rteFontSize-2\">\u00a0is a statewide strategic plan to provide congestion relief through non-tolled roads and is focused on the five major metro areas of Austin, Dallas, Fort Worth, Houston and San Antonio. This project will span the cities of San Antonio, Live Oak, Selma and Schertz.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<blockquote><p><span class=\"ms-rteFontSize-2\">\u201cWe are thrilled to bring this much-needed mobility improvement project to the highly traveled IH-35 corridor that you see behind us today,\u201d Gallegos said. \u201cWe would not be here today without the support of our partners, stakeholders and community members.\u201d<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span class=\"ms-rteFontSize-2\">Gallegos said the project is \u201ccritical to this area\u201d because over 200,000 drivers travel each day within the IH-35 NEX project limits, and that number is expected to more than double by 2044 on main lanes alone.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"ms-rteFontSize-2\">Bugg remarked that Texas\u2019 current population of 29 million is well on its way\u00a0to reaching\u00a047 million by 2050, which will require the state to focus on transportation and grow its lane capacity to keep it the number one state for business.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"ms-rteFontSize-2\">The I-35 NEX Central project will increase capacity with new elevated lanes, including high-occupancy vehicle lanes, and provide overpasses to I-410 North and Loop 1604 West. Once complete, the project will improve safety and mobility, address projected traffic growth and reduce travel time.\u00a0\u00a0I-35 NEX Central is the first of three expansion projects along a 20-mile stretch of I-35.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cToday begins the first of many milestones for this project,\u201d said Angel Luis Sanchez, CEO of Ferrovial Construction North America. \u201cWe\u00a0are excited to start construction on a project that will improve mobility to a fast-growing population area of Texas.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span class=\"ms-rteFontSize-2\">Jose Carlos Esteban, President and CEO of Webber, underlined Ferrovial\u2019s long history of delivering complicated projects, especially in Texas. \u201c<span class=\"fontColorThemePrimary ms-rteFontSize-2\"><strong>Ferrovial Construction and Webber<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0have proven they can deliver,\u201d he said. \u201cWe know we have a big challenge, but both teams put together can deliver the project and all San Antonians will be affected positively.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"ms-rteFontSize-2\">Alamo NEX Construction, comprised of\u00a0<span class=\"fontColorThemePrimary ms-rteFontSize-2\"><strong>Ferrovial Construction and Webber<\/strong><\/span>, has already begun the preliminary work of geotechnical drilling and utility potholing.
