State Highway 161
The Fluor-led joint venture of Prairie Link Constructors (PLC) used the design-build approach to deliver Phase 4 of the State Highway 161 (SH 161) toll road for the North Texas Tollway Authority (NTTA). The NTTA operates and maintains the toll road.
Phase 4 included the design and construction of two toll lanes in each direction along 6.5 miles of SH 161, extending from north of Interstate Highway (IH) 30 to IH 20, and includes multi-level interchanges at both interstate highways. PLC constructed an undercrossing beneath the Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR) and West Main Street and West Jefferson Street, which lie on either side of the railroad.
During Phase 4, PLC accommodated the ultimate facility configuration by constructing three-lane mainline bridges in each direction.
The SH 161 project was ranked 7th in Roads & Bridges magazine's Top 10 Roads List for 2012, recognizing the top road projects in North America based on project challenges, impact to region, and scope of work.
