SH 130

Client: Texas Turnpike Authority
Location: Austin, TX
Start Date: June 2002
End Date: April 2009
Contract Amount: $1 billion

Congestion on I-35 and the surrounding area created the need to improve mobility in and around the Austin-San Antonio corridor. A contract valued at more than $1 billion, this undertaking included building a 49-mile tollway, seven interchanges and 177 structures. Due to the significant size of this project, a joint-venture was established between three major contractors, Fluor Enterprises, T.J. Lambrecht Co., and Balfour Beatty Infrastructure, Inc. Work began in June 2002 and was finished in 2009.

In addition, SH 130 is the first highway in the state of Texas developed and constructed under a Comprehensive Development Agreement, which allows for accelerated completion. This type of agreement provides a time and cost savings to the state.

SH 130 is a four-lane divided highway extending from I-35 north of Georgetown southward to US 183 southeast of Austin, passing through Williamson and Travis Counties.
