Jordan Foster Construction has been awarded two highway construction contracts by the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT), totaling $183.3 million, to improve major transportation corridors in both Bexar and Bastrop counties.
The contracts include the expansion of U.S. Highway 90 (US 90) from Interstate Highway 410 (IH-410) to Loop 1604 in Bexar County and infrastructure improvements along State Highway 71 (SH 71) at Tucker Hill Lane in Bastrop County. Both projects are designed to address rising traffic demands, reduce congestion, and improve safety and connectivity across growing communities.
In Bexar County, the US 90 project will fully reconstruct approximately 2.55 miles of highway, widening the main lanes from four to six. The scope includes expansion of frontage roads, four new bridge structures, major storm drainage improvements, box culverts, and a direct connector from US 90 westbound to Loop 1604 northbound. Supporting elements include MSE retaining walls, concrete and asphalt paving, lighting, upgraded signals, and phased construction to maintain traffic flow. This project is a crucial step in preparing for a projected increase in traffic from 78,300 to 107,900 vehicles per day by 2045. Work on the US 90 corridor is expected to begin in fall 2025 and reach substantial completion by fall 2029.
In Bastrop County, the SH 71 improvement will convert a signalized intersection at Tucker Hill Lane into a grade-separated overpass and introduce new one-way frontage roads. The project also includes expanded accommodations for bicycles and pedestrians, enhancing safety and connectivity in one of Central Texas's fastest-growing areas, with direct connections to Austin-Bergstrom International Airport and the City of Bastrop. Construction on the SH 71 improvements is scheduled to commence later this year, delivering long-anticipated upgrades that will significantly shorten commute times and improve daily travel for Bastrop-to-Austin drivers.
Together, these projects represent a continuation of Jordan Foster Construction's role as a leading infrastructure contractor in Texas. The company brings deep technical expertise in excavation, drainage, structural bridgework, and large-scale phased delivery; supported by an experienced workforce that self-performs critical scopes such as earthwork and concrete to ensure safety, precision, and schedule control. With a longstanding partnership with TxDOT, Jordan Foster approaches each project with a strong sense of accountability, not just to those who seek their services but to the communities where they build.
“What makes projects like these especially meaningful for our team is that they're personal,” said John Goodrich, President, Infrastructure Group at Jordan Foster Construction. “Many of our employees live in these neighborhoods or commute on these roads. So, when we build something new, something that didn't exist before, it's not just about infrastructure. It's about improving lives. We take that seriously,” said Goodrich. “We prioritize being a good neighbor throughout construction by minimizing disruptions, communicating openly, and delivering a project that reflects the pride and care we bring to every job.”
With both projects poised to shape critical transportation routes in Central Texas, Jordan Foster Construction moves forward with a clear sense of purpose: to build infrastructure that not only meets the state's growing needs but reflects the trust placed in them by the communities they serve. These contracts underscore the company's continued role as a reliable partner in delivering essential improvements that leave a lasting impact on roads and lives.
