VRX serves as the prime provider to TxDOT San Antonio on this approximately $192M 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 Phase 1 project extends from the Loop 1604 interchange to Stone Oak Parkway in Bexar County. This project adds 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 will include frontage roads as well as bicycle and pedestrian facilities. Auxiliary lanes will be added as needed.
