Perched in the Indian Ocean, the lush subtropical island of Mauritius is blessed with magnificent natural beauty and an abundance of attractions. To improve the port facility and expand tourism in the island’s economy, this multi-phase project included urban planning of a new public waterfront promenade and urban core with a passenger ferry and cruise terminal. The promenade design links the Le Salinas historic downtown area, and the passenger terminal, as well as planned private developments and public parks.
HOUSTON (April 18, 2024) — The Texas Department of Transportation has awarded Woolpert a $10 million contract to provide plans, specifications, and estimate (PS&E) services supporting statewide roadway and bridge reconstruction and improvement projects.
The contract will support a range of TxDOT projects, including highway widening to accommodate growing traffic demands, bridge replacement and rehabilitation, and intersection upgrades to enhance safety and traffic flow at critical intersections.
“Woolpert possesses a deep understanding of PS&E delivery requirements and we’re thrilled to join forces with TxDOT in building the future of Texas transportation,” Woolpert Project Manager David Zheng said. “We understand the importance of every road and bridge in this vast state, and our team is dedicated to delivering creative solutions that will have a lasting, positive impact on the lives of all Texans.”
Zheng said the projects will focus on enhancing roadway safety, bolstering economic growth, and reducing traffic congestion across the state’s rural and emerging urban areas, including the greater Houston, Dallas-Fort Worth, and Austin-San Antonio areas.
“Efficient transportation networks are a pillar of Texas’ economic engine,” Zheng said. “This contract will help to ensure the structural integrity of vital infrastructure and support roadway capacity improvements to accommodate Texas’ growing urban areas, traffic demands, and business development needs.”
The contract is underway.
