Sacyr has announced the completion of construction on two significant highway projects in Lubbock, Texas: the FM 1585 highway (the new Loop 88) and the reconstruction of US 62. Both contracts, awarded by the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT), had a combined value of $180 million.
With the successful delivery of these two roadways, Sacyr has now completed 12 road infrastructure projects across the United States – four in Texas and eight in Florida. This achievement further solidifies Sacyr's strong presence in the U.S. market, with a cumulative investment exceeding $1.3 billion (€1.11 billion).
FM 1585
The FM 1585 project in Lubbock is a critical component of the Loop 88 program and a cornerstone of the area's transportation infrastructure. This development involved transforming a four-mile, two-lane section of FM 1585 (also known as 130th Street) into a modern six-lane freeway, complete with frontage roads, bridges, and ramps.
These significant upgrades are designed to accommodate the region's increasing traffic demands, enhance motorist safety, and significantly reduce congestion.
US 62
The comprehensive reconstruction of US 62 (19th Street) covered a vital 3.3-mile urban corridor, crucial for downtown Lubbock's connectivity between Memphis Avenue and I-27.
This extensive undertaking encompassed significant upgrades to the drainage system, sidewalks, asphalt paving, traffic signals, and street lighting. The completed project is expected to substantially enhance safety, reduce traffic congestion, and bolster mobility capacity for thousands of daily users in the area.
