VRX is wrapping up prime provider services to the TxDOT San Antonio District on this approximately $215M urban transportation project.

VRX Project Manager Praxedis “Pete” Garza, PE, is leading the VRX construction management team; the project broke ground in spring 2017.

The U.S. 281 Segment 1 project extends from the Loop 1604 interchange to Stone Oak Parkway in Bexar County. This project added two general-purpose non-toll lanes in each direction, one HOV/transit lane in each direction, four direct connectors to Loop 1604, and one direct T-ramp connection to the new VIA Park & Ride Facility at Stone Oak Parkway. The project included frontage roads as well as bicycle, pedestrian facilities, and auxiliary lanes.

VRX’s comprehensive Construction Engineering and Inspection (CEI) services include environmental compliance (Task Leader Eric Huff and Environmental Scientist Nathanael Suttle), utility engineering and utility construction verification (Task Leader Jon King, PE), resident engineer (Task Leader Carlos Ayala, PE), record keeping, and construction inspection.
