Dallas, Texas
Lone Star Project – I-35 Infrastructure Overhaul & Structural Expansion, Phase II
Project Description
The Lone Star Project is a comprehensive infrastructure upgrade along a 6-mile stretch of Interstate 35, aimed at improving traffic flow, safety, and long-term structural resilience in one of Texas’s most heavily traveled corridors.
Project highlights include
Major Structural Construction: Delivery of 23 key structures, including bridges, retaining systems, and elevated roadway components, designed to support increased traffic volumes and regional growth.
Precision Concrete Placement: Management of 14,500 cubic yards of concrete for foundations and structural elements, ensuring mix accuracy, quality control, and timely delivery across multiple work zones.
MSE Wall Development: Construction of 42 Mechanically Stabilized Earth (MSE) walls, some reaching 40 feet in height and extending up to 1,400 feet in length, providing critical support and slope stability.
Post-Tensioned Cap Installation: Execution of complex post-tensioned caps, each averaging 270 cubic yards, requiring advanced coordination and structural expertise.
Backfill & Earthwork Coordination: Placement of 30,000 tons of rock backfill to reinforce MSE walls and maintain long-term integrity.
Traffic & Safety Management: Operations conducted within active managed lanes, with strict adherence to traffic control plans and safety protocols to minimize disruption and protect workers and motorists.
Team & Stakeholder Collaboration: Close coordination with general contractors, subcontractors, and project teams to ensure efficient execution and resolve logistical challenges in confined urban work zones.
This high-impact infrastructure project enhances mobility, safety, and structural capacity along I-35, supporting Texas’s continued economic growth and transportation demands
