Th UK construction company will rebuild a 3.7-kilometre section of the route on the east side of Dallas County. On completion, the scheme will increase the number of general-purpose lanes from six to 12 to improve congestion and connectivity across the city.

It will also construct nine crossings which will link I-30 with the Southern Gateway, the I-35E Lowest Stemmons and The Horseshoe, all of which Balfour Beatty completed over the last five years.
