Sterling Construction Company, Inc. today announced that its Texas Sterling Construction Co. (TSC) subsidiary was the low bidder on a $46.3 million Bexar County Public Works project, which includes Texas Department of Transportation (TXDOT) funding, to perform reconstruction work on FM 1957 Potranco Road on the West side of San Antonio. Work is expected to begin by March of 2016 and be completed in late 2017.
The project consists of reconstructing 4.65 miles of the existing roadway from Loop 1604 to Texas SH211, widening it from a two lane rural road to a four lane urban roadway and adding center left turn lanes. The scope of the job will entail the removal of existing facilities, gas line installation, water line work, sanitary sewer work, earthwork, storm drain installation, new bridge structure construction, asphalt and concrete paving, miscellaneous other concrete work, and the installation of traffic signals and other traffic control devices.
Paul J. Varello, Sterling’s Chief Executive Officer, commented, “FM 1957 is a heavily-traveled roadway that runs through some densely populated suburbs of San Antonio and connects two major highways. This project is expected to significantly mitigate traffic congestion in the area thus benefitting its residents. Texas remains our largest geographic market, and we look forward to executing on this and additional TXDOT-funded jobs efficiently and profitably throughout 2016.”
