MILAN, October 1, 2020 – Webuild Group’s U.S. subsidiary Lane has won a $176-million toll-road contract in Texas, the latest project to consolidate its presence in North America, its biggest market by revenue.

Lane will work on the 183A Phase III Project to extend the 183A Toll Road, adding two tolled lanes for 6.6 miles in either direction from Hero Way to north of SH 29. It will also build a shared use path from Hero Way to the proposed Seward Junction. Commissioned by the Central Texas Regional Mobility Authority, the project is expected to be completed in October 2024. The extension of 183A will include the construction of 17 bridges, two of which over the South Fork San Gabriel River.

With unprecedented growth in Williamson County, especially in Cedar Park, Leander and Liberty Hill, traffic volumes along the 183 are seen increasing by 183% during the next 25 years. The project will help alleviate future congestion and reduce driving times for commuters.

Other work being done by Lane in the United States include the $675-million I-10 Corridor Express Lanes in San Bernardino County, California; the $700-million I-405 express toll lanes in the City of Bellevue, Washington; and a total of almost $1 billion worth of works on the I-440, Complete 540, and I-77/I-40 Interchange in North Carolina. In Texas, the Group is preparing to start work on a high-speed railway between Dallas and Houston, a strategic project that would bring jobs and give a boost to the economy.
