The City Council approved a contract to build a new bridge over I35 and it is expected that construction will begin in July and finish by July 2020.
This project is for the construction of the Northwest Blvd Bridge over IH35 connecting Austin Avenue to Rivery Blvd. The project will provide an addition Interstate Highway crossing and help relieve congestion on Austin Avenue and Williams Drive. The project will consist of 4 lanes and ultimately connection to (1) the Rivery Blvd extension currently under construction on the west end and (2) the forthcoming FM971/Austin Avenue realignment project expected to bid late 2019.
A total of six highly qualified contractors submitted bids on the project with CHASCO being the lowest bidder. CHASCO has completed many similar projects in the Central Texas Area. Both the consulting/design engineer and staff recommend awarding the bid for the Northwest Blvd Bridge to CHASCO in the amount of $8,149,698.00 .
Funds for this project are generated from the 2015 Voter Approved Road Bond Program and are available in the Transportation CIP Account.
Here is a schematic diagram of the project.
