Fluor’s $671 million Texas road deal

Fluor Corporation has been awarded the construction contract for the State Highway 6 (SH 6) project in College Station, Texas. The $671 million package of works was awarded by the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT).

“This award shows Fluor’s continued commitment to executing projects in Texas and builds on our longstanding partnership with TxDOT,” said Shawn West, President of Fluor’s Infrastructure business. “The SH 6 project is another step in our relationship with TxDOT as they work to enhance the state’s transportation demands in this rapidly expanding corridor.”

SH 6 is a vital north-south highway that serves as a major commuter route for Bryan, College Station, Texas A&M University, Brazos County and the surrounding region. It is also part of the Texas Highway Freight Network, the Texas Highway Trunk System and is a Hurricane Evacuation Route. Fluor will reconstruct and widen the 19km stretch of highway from two lanes to three in each direction.

Construction is scheduled to begin in Summer 2025 with substantial completion anticipated in Spring 2030.
