844 Pegasus Link Constructors, a joint venture comprising infrastructure group 3902 Balfour Beatty and 2248 Fluor Corporation, has been awarded a US$625 million (£484 million) contract to reconstruct and improve the Southern Gateway, an 11 mile stretch of road in Dallas, Texas.


The 375 Texas Department of Transportation awarded the contract as part of the Clear Lanes initiative, a programme that prioritises funding for congestion relief projects in Texas’ metropolitan areas.  The improvement scheme will improve road-user safety and relieve congestion for the 180,000 motorists who use the road each day through smoothing and rebuilding existing road elements, enhancing traffic operations and improving entrance and exit ramps. Works include increasing capacity on Interstate 35E south of downtown Dallas, rebuilding the I-35E/US67 interchange and widening the US67 from I-35E to I-20.

Construction is scheduled to start in late 2017 with completion scheduled for 2021.
