Widening to a full urban freeway from International Boulevard to East Corridor Road (Airport Entrance) in Laredo, Webb County, Texas.

TxDOT and its contractor will upgrade this roadway to interstate standards, including four overpasses at major arterial intersections with Shiloh Road, Del Mar Boulevard, University Drive, and Jacaman Road.

The improvements will include three 12‐foot main lanes in each direction separated by an approximately 3‐foot concrete traffic barrier. The project will also include three 12‐foot frontage road lanes in each direction. Pedestrian accommodations would consist of a 6‐foot sidewalk outside the west frontage road and a 14‐foot dual‐use path on the east side of the east frontage road.

Limits are from International Boulevard to East Corridor Road (Airport Entrance) in Laredo, Webb County, Texas. The project length is approximately 5.9 miles.

James Construction Group, LLC is the general contractor for the project.

Lane closure locations, timing, and duration are specific to the work being performed.
