Williams Brothers Reconfigures Interchange Near Port Arthur Crews are changing the overall design from a cloverleaf interchange to a turbine-style interchange.

Williams Brothers Construction will completely redesign the U.S. 69 and SH 73 interchange southeast of Beaumont near Port Arthur. Key aspects of this work consist of placing of embankment and the installation of columns.

By Irwin Rapoport CEG CORRESPONDENT

Changing the complete design of an interchange is no small task, but that is what crews from Williams Brothers Construction are achieving near Port Arthur in Jefferson County.

Maintaining road safety standards and

improving traffic flow are the key reasons for the Texas Department of Transportation’s (TxDOT) $70 million project to upgrade and improve the U.S. 69 and SH 73 interchange southeast of Beaumont.

For the reconfiguration of the interchange, crews changed the original cloverleaf configuration to a turbine (spiral) configuration.

Work began in November 2021 and is scheduled for completion in late 2025.

New Design The upgraded interchanged was design by Poznecki-Camarillo LLC with the help of RDV Systems and LJA Engineering.

To date, Williams Brothers has completed

the following: mobilization, temporary widening and initial closure and started work on foundation soil improvements. The next 12 months will see crews focus on completing foundation soil improvements, earthwork, bridge foundations and substructure.

Senate Approves $31 Billion Solution for Ike Dike Flooding The U.S. Senate recently approved a bill that would authorize federal agencies to plan for an estimated $31 billion project intended to protect the Texas coast from hurricanes.

Hundreds of millions of dollars have already gone into studying the idea to build a system of concrete gate barriers at the mouth of Galveston Bay. Nicknamed for the destructive hurricane that hit Galveston Island in 2008, the so-called Ike Dike could be the largest civil engineering project in U.S. history.

The project is included in the Water Resources Development Act, which contains various federal water, coast and flooding projects that require congressional approval to move forward, but does not allocate funds. The bill passed with 93 yes votes in the Senate; only Sen. Mike Braun, R-Indiana, voted no.

The U.S. House passed its version of the act in June. The legislation will go back to the House for the two chambers to iron out differences before sending it to President Joe Biden for approval. But the Texas coastal spine project is authorized in both versions.

Republican Sen. John Cornyn said the project brings Texas “one step closer” to ensuring the state’s coast will be as “prepared as possible” for future hurricanes.

“Protecting the Texas coast from devastating hurricanes is a top priority when it comes to preserving the livelihoods of Texans and ensuring the massive amount of international trade that relies on our state can resume after a storm,” Cornyn said in a statement.

The Ike Dike is part of the larger Texas Coastal Project,

U.S. Army Corps of Engineers photo

The Ike Dike gate project alone would account for at least $16 billion and require 18 years to build, according to U.S. Army Corps of Engineers estimates. The gates would span a nearly 2-mi. gap from the island to Bolivar Peninsula.

which was proposed to protect the state’s shoreline against hurricane storm surge and rising sea levels. It includes a series of other coastal infrastructure and environmental projects, from artificial barriers to beach and dune restoration.

The Ike Dike gate project alone would account for at least

$16 billion and require 18 years to build, according to U.S. Army Corps of Engineers estimates. The gates would span a nearly 2-mi. gap from the island to Bolivar Peninsula.

The act doesn’t include funding for the Ike Dike and the rest of the Texas coast projects, which will require a separate request to Congress from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

Congress is expected to fund the project in smaller appropriations rather than all at once.

If — or when — Congress does appropriate money, the state and local governments will be on the hook for a local match, which could total at least $10 billion, but inflation and changes in building costs mean estimates vary widely.

Typically, such projects require a 65 percent / 35 percent split in federal and nonfederal funding.

Texas politicians have generally supported the proposal: Cornyn and Sen. Ted Cruz introduced standalone legislation for the coastal spine project. Last June, Gov. Greg Abbott said it would “go down in history” as one of the most significant coastal protection projects ever done in Texas.

The Ike Dike was first conceptualized by Bill Merrell, a marine sciences professor of Texas A&M University in Galveston. The current plan imagines artificial islands anchoring huge floating gates more than 80-ft. tall that could close as water levels rise during a storm.

On each side of the floating gates, concrete towers would rise more than 100 ft. in the air to hold more vertical gates that could lower into the water during a storm. When closed, the gates could reduce surge into Galveston Bay by 30 to 60 percent, according to the U.S. Army Corps analysis, depending on the hurricane’s track and intensity. 

Congresswoman’s Bill to Help Protect Construction Workers Congresswoman Sylvia Garcia (TX-29) introduced the Construction Injury Prevention Act (CIPA) to protect construction workers from injuries by requiring employers to offer at least one 15-min. paid rest break every four hours of work. CIPA also requires the employer to notify the employee of their right to their paid rest breaks at the start of employment.

Surveys show in Texas nearly 39 percent of construction workers do not receive rest breaks. On top of that, Houston has a vast construction industry with more than a quarter-million construction workers laboring in the region — making CIPA a remarkably important bill with massive national and regional benefits.

“As an elected official, I introduced this bill to protect the construction workers who are building a better America across our nation and the Houston region,” said Garcia.

“I’ve heard far too many horror stories from workers who have been seriously injured due to employers not allowing rest breaks.

These cruel business practices hurt minorities and Latino communities, like those in my district, the most. These are essential workers who contribute massively to our economy and infrastructure, and they must be protected with paid rest breaks.”

Lizeth Chacón, co-executive director of Workers Defense Project & Workers Defense Action Fund, added, “Workers Defense members led the fight at the local level in Austin and Dallas, in 2010 and 2015, respectively, to pass Rest Break Ordinances

that guarantee construction workers water breaks in lieu of federal law. These local policies now are serving as a model for what the federal government can do to protect construction workers across the country.

“We thank Congresswoman Garcia for her leadership on this issue and meeting the critical moment we are in as more workers’ lives are threatened by the impact of climate change and the death toll not having a rest break takes on construction workers and their families,” she added.

Jeremy Hendricks, assistant business manager of Southwest Laborers District Council, LIUNA, said, “It’s no secret the job

CIPA also requires the employer to notify the employee of their right to their paid rest breaks at the start of employment.

of building America is a dangerous one.

Sadly, construction workers suffer death and injuries from extreme temperatures every day in all corners of this country, so we must take this important step to protect our construction workforce.

“The members of LIUNA thank Congresswoman Garcia for filing this important measure to guarantee simple rest breaks and we stand united to work for passage,” Hendricks added. “We simply can’t allow one more worker to die or one more

family to be destroyed while we do nothing.”

Additionally, CIPA would: • Prohibit employer retaliation of any kind for the employee taking paid rest breaks; • Require an employer to notify a new employee of their right to paid rest breaks at the start of employment; • Require an employer to post notice of employee’s right to paid breaks both in English and Spanish in a public space. 

TTC Awards Nearly $150 Million in New Transit Projects The Texas Transportation Commission recently awarded more than $68 million in federal and state funds to transit providers across the state. Combined with an award granted in June, TxDOT is distributing more than $146 million in funding, a 65 percent increase compared to funds approved in the summer of 2021. This increase is partly due to additional federal funds from the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. “This funding is critical to ensuring everyone in Texas, especially in rural areas, has access to where they need to go safely and reliably,” TxDOT Transportation Commissioner Alvin New said. “Many people across the state rely on these services for basic life needs because they have no other option. We’re excited to help fund these agencies as they continue to help the people of Texas.”

Transit agencies can use this funding to cover maintenance costs, buy new buses, Alice Echo News photo build new facilities and expand their services The Rural Economic Assistance League will construct a new building due to the to pick up more people. fact it has doubled its service area in recent years.

Here are some specific examples: • Concho Valley Transit District in San Angelo will build a bus storage and in-house maintenance facility; • Rural Economic Assistance League (REAL), which serves nine counties in the Coastal Bend area of South Texas, will build a multimodal transit facility after doubling its service area over the past several years; • Texoma Area Paratransit System, Inc. (TAPS), which serves six counties near the Oklahoma border, is bringing administration and transportation functions from leased space to a new facility; • Brazos Transit District, which serves seven counties in the Brazos Valley, will expand its service and add fuel vehicles on site.

These state and federal funds support rural and urban transit services in more than 90 percent of the state’s land area, serving more than a third of the state’s population. The services these agencies provide vary but can include both pick up at designated locations and taking customers to and from their homes. 

The project within the Texas Medical Center will provide a more accessible entrance for patients arriving to the Pavilion.

Texas Children’s Hospital photo

Crews celebrated the completion of the $201 million expansion of the Texas Children’s Hospital Pavilion for Women.

First Phase of Pavilion for Women Construction Complete The first phase of Texas Children’s Pavilion for Women’s $201 million expansion within the Texas Medical Center is complete, providing a more accessible entrance for patients arriving to the Pavilion.

This initial step in the multi-year expansion plan creates immediate access to the Women’s Assessment Center located in the lobby of the Pavilion for Women.

“We are thrilled to not only celebrate this exciting milestone in our overall expansion plan, but that the new location of the Women’s Assessment Center will provide an enhanced experience for our patients,” said Anne-Marie Savage, assistant vice president of Women’s Services at Texas Children’s Pavilion for Women. “Because this unit is situated at the front door, we can now ensure all our patients are greeted upon arrival and escorted to the appropriate care team, labor and delivery or otherwise.”

Based on the need to expand labor and delivery services, phase two of the plan focuses on increasing the number of hospital beds in the Texas Children’s Pavilion for Women. The former Baylor Clinic building, located at 6620 Main St., is under construction to transform the building into the newest tower for Texas Children’s Hospital, Main Tower. It will add an additional 190,000 sq. ft. to the hospital’s footprint and will be connected to the Pavilion for Women via the new sky bridge.

Once finished, Main Tower will house all of the outpatient OB/GYN practices from the Texas Children’s Pavilion for Women, allowing for easier patient access and creating more space for increased hospital beds within the Pavilion for Women for patients and newborns requiring neonatal intensive

care. The full expansion is expected to be completed in 2024.

“Since the beginning of the Pavilion for Women a decade ago, our world-renowned team has seen countless, groundbreaking milestones with regard to patient care. We look forward to what is to come in the decades that follow, and this expansion is one part of that,” said Michael Belfort, OB/GYN-in-Chief of Texas Children’s Pavilion for Women and professor and chair of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology of Baylor College of Medicine.

“We are looking forward to increasing our capacity to offer the best care to our patients who come from all over the globe seeking our expertise and the full continuum of care we offer mothers and babies.”

Texas Children’s is ranked second among the best children’s hospitals nationally by

U.S. News & World Report, and first in Texas.

ter of the interchange to allow for temporary detours and permanent soil foundation improvements while maintaining traffic flow,” said Rick Kronenberger, project manager of LJA Engineering. “Poor soils are a challenge. The existing soil conditions called for a well designed soil improvement plan.

This plan includes improving drainage for the turbine, installation of soil monitoring cells and wick drains.

“The key aspects of this work is the placing of embankment and the installation of columns,” Kronenberger added. “The entire project is demolition and reconstruction.”

For the addition of direct connectors, putting in mainlane improvements and improving frontage road and ramps, “the challenges included tying in the direct connects to optimize flow and maintain safety,” said Bryce Broussard, TxDOT assistant area engineer (Hardin, Jefferson and Orange counties), Beaumont District.

To construct the new lanes, Williams Brothers is removing of the existing pavement, earthwork moving to prepare to final grade (cuts & fills), subgrade improvement using lime, base placement and concrete pavement surface.

Work to construct the retaining walls and culverts has not started.

Widening and repairing existing bridges and constructing new ones will begin in the near future. One bridge is being widened, two are being replaced and four new ones are being built. The length of the bridges is between 164 ft. to 1,935 ft.

“The time required to complete a bridge varies based on complexity, length and traffic phasing,” said Kronenberger. “The time to demolish a bridge depends on traffic phasing and environmental constraints.”

The materials from the demolition operations will not be recycled on-site. In terms of prefabricated parts and elements being used, Williams Brothers is bringing in retaining wall panels, bridge beams and bridge deck panels.

The amounts of materials — concrete, steel, asphalt and earth and rock — from demolition and excavation operations and new materials being brought in — are still being finalized.

Williams Brothers crews are using cranes, excavators, dozers, loaders and other standard equipment from various manufacturers. The company purchases and rents equipment from a variety of dealerships in Texas.

To date, Williams Brothers has completed mobilization, temporary widening and initial closure and started work on foundation soil improvements.

“The plan of attack is to open up the center of the interchange to allow for temporary detours and permanent soil foundation improvements while maintaining traffic flow.”

“Right-of-way constraints while trying to optimize traffic flow is a challenge,” said Broussard. “This is a heavy industrialized area consisting of large trucks and large amounts of traffic during peak hours and shift changes. It has a poor soil conditions and high water table. The general contractor is using embankment soil monitoring cells that give a 24/7 look at the settlement of the placed embankment. The turbine design maximizes the use of the existing ROW to provide improved flow for the traveling public who use this interchange daily.”

The construction is essentially taking place within the existing right-of-way and should not result in any traffic displacements. TxDOT recently closed two of the interchange’s northern quadrants.

“We conduct traffic management through continued efforts with local stakeholders while maintaining driver awareness tools,” said Broussard. “We are working at an elevation of 5 to 2. Any work with existing soils deals with working with ground water and maintaining drainage. Most known utilities are coordinated, although there will be coordination with pipelines that are to remain in place.

Juneteenth Museum Construction Under Way in Fort Worth Our Future Cities rendering

Our Future Cities rendering

Architectural renderings reveal a building with multiple triangle-shaped segments overlooking an open air courtyard, all on a rectangular footprint.

A new and much-anticipated museum is under way in Texas: the National Juneteenth Museum.

The $70 million, 50,000-sq.-ft. facility will be built of timber in Fort Worth.

Architectural renderings reveal a building with multiple triangle-shaped segments overlooking an open air courtyard, all on a rectangular footprint. Work will start by the end of this year to conclude for a planned opening around Juneteenth 2024. It will sit on the grounds of a preexisting Fort Worth

A planned opening is scheduled for Juneteenth 2024.

Juneteenth Museum, which will be demolished in favor of the new, expanded building.

The new facility will include exhibitions, education programming, a food hall with Black chefs, a recording studio to capture oral histories from visitors, a theater and a business incubator. Although the design is from a Danish architectural firm, the New York-based partner in charge of the museum is Black architect Douglass Alligood. A mixed-use development including housing will be built around the museum.

The $70 million, 50,000-sq.-ft. facility will be built of timber in Fort Worth.

Juneteenth commemorates the end of slavery, when, on June 19, 1865, Union Army general Gordon Granger brought news of the Emancipation Proclamation to the enslaved people in Texas (two years after the executive order). Granger’s reading of General Order No. 3 resulted in instantaneous celebrations, and the next year’s ‘Jubilee Day’ evolved into Juneteenth.

Although Juneteenth has only been a national holiday since 2021, it has been one in Texas since 1980. Local activist Opal Lee,

a 2022 Nobel Peace Prize nominee, has long worked to get Juneteenth properly recognized. She’s called the ‘grandmother of Juneteenth’ due to her efforts to get the day recognized as a national holiday. In 1939, hundreds of white rioters burned down her family home on Juneteenth — she was 12 years old at the time — spurring her resolve to educate people about the significance of the day’s history. Her granddaughter Dione Sims will be the new museum’s founding executive director. 

Royal Caribbean is building the 161,300-sq.-ft. terminal on 10 acres in the eastern-most area of the Port of Galveston.

Construction began in summer 2021 and will be completed in fall 2022.

The port is investing approximately $20 million in associated improvements, including an interior roadway, utilities, landscaping and cruise parking. The 1,550space parking lot will be a new revenue source for the port, a self-sustaining city entity.

The company also has budgeted $4.5 million to replace an 80-yearold pile-supported wharf and make concrete repairs on Pier 10, the wharf being repurposed for the new cruise terminal. The port and Royal Caribbean are sharing the

added. “No additional ROW was acquired for this project. The goal is to resolve issues as quickly as possible at the lowest level of management on either side.”

RDV System’s Role A goal on the $70 million interchange was to maintain specific design speeds on all connections and from the start, TxDOT was concerned about maintaining road safety standards.

While the non-compliance of some hazardous U.S. highways may originate in design, construction and/or maintenance deficiencies, there is a much deeper, more troubling issue at hand. AASHTO’s “Policy on Geometric Design of Highways and Streets”, a.k.a. the Green Book, provides two-dimensional schematic road safety methodologies that have not changed in over 70 years, despite the fact that 3D roadway modeling is now commonplace. The Green Book’s guidelines are fundamental to roadway engineering. However, from a sight distance perspective, they focus primarily on vertical and horizontal curve values, The upgraded interchange was design by Poznecki-Camarillo LLC with the help of RDV Systems and LJA Engineering. with no practical method of evaluating many of the environmental and man-made resolved by restriping, i.e., shifting the posihazards that impact driver safety, which tions of lanes to widen the shoulders on the insides of curves.

PLW Waterworks will be responsible for all three construction projects located in Georgetown, San Angelo and Laredo.

Ferrovial has been awarded three water contracts in Texas with a combined value of $279 million.

The contracts, which have been won by subsidiary PLW Waterworks, are for the construction of treatment plants.

Georgetown has selected PLW Waterworks to undertake the largest project in the city’s history. The contract, worth $175 million, involves building a plant to supply drinking water to one of the fastest-growing population areas in the state. The scope of work includes construction and commissioning of the structures for the new plant, a new water intake and a pumping station on South Lake. It is scheduled for completion in 2026.

The city of San Angelo also has commissioned PLW Waterworks to upgrade the Hickory groundwater treatment plant. The project, which is scheduled for completion in 2024, will expand the infrastructure’s capacity by 30 million liters per day to over 45 million liters per day. The contract value is $53 million and the work includes construction and commissioning of a triplex low-head pump station, two new precast concrete clear wells and the expansion of the oxidation system.

The third contract awarded to PLW Waterworks involves building the Manadas Creek wastewater treatment plant in Laredo for $51 million. The project requires the construction of a wastewater treatment plant with a capacity of 18 million liters per day as well as a gravity outfall pipe to carry the treated water.

These three projects are in line with Ferrovial’s Horizon 24 plan, which identifies the United States as a core market. 

Simmons Takes Over as TxDOT’s Newest Chief Engineer TxDOT has announced that Linden native and longtime resident of Atlanta, Texas, Lance W. Simmons, has been appointed as the agency’s chief engineer.

In his new role, Simmons, a 28-year TxDOT veteran, will direct and coordinate TxDOT’s statewide engineering and district operations to ensure the state’s transportation system is built and operates in a safe, efficient and effective manner.

“It is a great honor to be named to the position of chief engineer for this great agency,” Simmons said. “I look forward to working with our districts as we continue to move forward with projects to maintain and enhance the safety of Texas state highways.”

Simmons started his career with TxDOT as a summer hire in Atlanta in the early 1990s. As a Terry Scholar at Texas A&M University, he earned his bachelor’s degree in 1994.

Then, he began working full-time in the Atlanta District’s Design Office. He also worked in advance planning and traffic. Simmons then served as the Atlanta District’s bridge/special projects engineer from 2001 to 2009. During that time, he oversaw the development of a $151 million construction project on Interstate 30 through Texarkana. The project filled gaps in the frontage road system, converted the frontage roads to one-way and relocated roadways under overpasses to move traffic more smoothly and efficiently.

In 2010, Simmons was selected as the Atlanta District’s director of operations. During this time, he was honored with the Luther DeBerry Award, which is presented to TxDOT employees who show dedication, innovation and performance excellence in the field of transportation. The award is administered by the Texas A&M Transportation Institute. It

“It is a great honor to be named to the position of chief engineer for this great agency. I look forward to working with our districts as we continue to move forward with projects to maintain and enhance the safety of Texas state highways.”

Lance W. Simmons TxDOT

Simmons

was noted that Simmons could be found working around the clock during emergency weather events and served as a mentor for many young engineers.

“I have been blessed to work with many wonderful people in TxDOT who were generous enough to share their knowledge with me,” he said. “It’s now my turn to provide insight and guidance that I have learned over the years.”

In 2015, Simmons was named the district engineer of TxDOT’s Bryan District. While there, he oversaw the planning, design, building, operation and maintenance of the

state transportation system for that 10-county district. In 2021, he was named TxDOT’s director of engineering and safety operations in Austin. In that role, Simmons supervised and coordinated the agency’s engineering operations under the direction of the chief engineer. He will continue to serve as the director of Engineering and safety operations until a replacement is named.

Simmons and his wife of 30 years, Deanne, have two children, Parker, 24, and Alyssa, 22, both graduates of Texas A&M University. 
