DALLAS – Balfour Beatty announces that it has been awarded a $889 million contract by the Texas Department of Transportation to reconstruct part of Interstate 30 (I-30) through Dallas in Texas.

Balfour Beatty will reconstruct a 2.3-mile 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.

In addition, the company will 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 has successfully completed on behalf of the Texas Department of Transportation over the last five years.

“We are thrilled to continue our long-standing partnership with TxDOT on this transformative project that will reshape mobility in downtown Dallas,” said Dan Young, Balfour Beatty vice president of Civils operations in the Southwest. “Our team's deep experience delivering complex projects in this corridor, combined with our thorough understanding of the area's infrastructure positions us perfectly to execute this critical work along with our industry partners. We're honored to provide connectivity and safety enhancements through the I-30 Canyon project, which represents more than just highway improvements – it's about strengthening communities and creating lasting economic opportunities for the region."

This latest contract award follows Balfour Beatty’s appointment by the Texas Department of Transportation to rebuild part of the Interstate 35 through Austin in Texas. The contract, valued at $746 million was awarded in November 2024.

Leo Quinn, Balfour Beatty Group Chief Executive, said: “This contract award builds on Balfour Beatty’s 30-year relationship with the Texas Department of Transportation and our history of successful delivery.

“Our deep expertise in delivering complex road schemes in Dallas, combined with our unrivalled understanding of the area’s infrastructure positions us perfectly to deliver these critical works which will not only improve connectivity and congestion, but create lasting economic opportunities for the region.”

Balfour Beatty’s appointment to reconstruct part of I-30 is testament to its selective bidding approach, ensuring that the company leverages its strengths to work with long-term customers in the geographies in which it has proven expertise, strong teams and trusted supply chain partners.

Preconstruction will commence in 2026 and is estimated to last five years until completion.
