Construction Of Major TxDOT Bridge Is Once Again Progressing
KIII News reports on signs of renewed progress in the construction of TxDOT’s nearly $1 billion US 181 Harbor Bridge replacement project in Corpus Christi. “[S]ince TxDOT and Flatiron Dragados agreed to re-start work in October, overlapping construction has helped the project move forward, said TxDOT District Engineer Valente Olivarez Jr.” Crews are currently working on tower foundation footings and I-37 approaches to the new span. Construction was halted for months before the state and the Flatiron/Dargados JV managed to begin resolving several major design concerns. Olivarez said TxDOT plans to release more information about the design after an outstanding issue is addressed this month.

Kapsch TrafficCom announced that its Dynac platform will be an essential part of the enhanced traffic management system for a 23-kilometer (14.3-mile) segment of the pan-European Route E67 in Latvia. When installation is complete later this year, the Dynac system will collect and manage data from roadside cameras, sensors, radar systems and weather stations to enable operations staff to make traffic management decisions based on real-time information about conditions. Kapsch stated that its implementation contract has added significance because the facility, the E67 Ķekava Bypass, is the first highway in the Baltic region to be built and operated on the public-private partnership model.
