“The number of megaprojectes that are underway or that will soon be underway in Austin is the city’s conversation,” says Picheloup. “Infrastructure projects are active everywhere [the city]. “”
Among the highest profile projects in the area are the Capital Express North and South projects, which are part of the Texas Dept Texas Dept Mobility35 transport program. of Mobility35 transport. Interstate 35 – Bisecta Austin – has been “for some time now has been overcome with travelers … A situation that has worsened with the recent rise in the population,” he says.
To help relieve congestion, the two mobility projects35 will add managed lanes to each direction to the north and south of the Austin center. Picheloup says that the agency has also published the first in a series of projects that make up the Central Central Capital Project, which aims to eliminate the upper I-35 cover in the center of Austin and reduce the entire road below the degree.
Austin-Bergstrom International Airport is going through a massive transformation through its “Travel with Birds” program. “The airport has been working out of its capacity for some time and this series of projects aims to increase the capacity to adapt to the growth and popularity of the city among visitors,” says Picheloup. It includes the expansion of the terminal, a new luggage manipulation system, parking garages and a room of arrivals and exits, as well as other infrastructure. The initial projects are already underway, with the series of projects that will be estimated to be completed by 2030.
“The Austin Convention Center is also planned for significant redevelopment and expansion that aims to make it a more attractive space for conferences and events,” says Picheloup. The expansion plans to increase the size of the installation to 620,000 square meters of 365,000 square meters.
Following the approval of the voters in 2020 financing for the proposal A for Project Connect, the collaboration of Austin Transit was established to plan, design, build and implement a light railway program in Austin.
“Although there have been bumps along the road, [the partnership] has had excellent progress to make this project a reality by selecting a delivery partner [AECOM-led team LINC Austin]Liberating the environmental impact statement project for public comments and is now actively involved in the contracting community before the hiring of the light railway contractor, “says Picheloup on the progressive design construction project. The Austin Ferrocarrils builders – a joint company of Stacy Witbeck and Sundt – follows the project.
“The light railway system of 9.8 miles will transform Austin to find people where they are and taking them where they want to go,” he says. “Will give
Austinites an alternative so necessary for driving that will help relieve congestion. “”
The new light rail, scheduled to operate in 2033, is not without controversy. “He continues to dominate the news cycle as demands and the state legislature seeks to make it difficult for the project to be voted on and approved by the people of Austin,” says Picheloup. “The project has a significant impetus, but it is the piece of key infrastructure for a series of local efforts with the aim of densifying Austin.”
“We hope you stay very busy over the coming years.”

In addition to the infrastructure, “there are also multiple tower cranes in the city center, which indicates that the commercial is also active, including the construction of the highest building in Texas [the Waterline]”, He says.” Another booming sector is technology manufacturing facilities for private owners. “
With so much work, Picheloup claims that contractors have a great deal of concern about the size of local labor force.
“Austin has never experienced this volume of construction work and, with so many major projects that occur simultaneously over the coming years, the development of a specialized local labor is a significant challenge,” says Picheloup. He states that the subject was planned and that “important efforts are launched locally to launch an infrastructure academy with the support of local business leaders who will face the challenge.”
Stacy Witbeck has been recently occupied, completing the McKalla station in front of the Q2 stadium, a football facility
Commuter railway system of the Metro Capital Line. Modern Railway Systems, a subsidiary of the integral company, has also completed the Capital Metro project in Leander as part of the red line improvements.
“The construction business is booming to Austin and is more busy than ever,” says Picheloup. “We hope you stay very busy over the coming years, as local and state agencies continue [move projects forward] from development to construction and [as] People continue to move to Austin. “”
