Fluor Corp. joined officials from the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT), local leaders and community members on Nov. 20, 2025, to celebrate the groundbreaking of the State Highway 6 (S.H. 6) expansion project in Bryan/College Station.
The $671 million project, awarded to Fluor's Infrastructure business earlier this year, marks a significant milestone in improving mobility and safety along one of the region's most critical transportation corridors. The 12-mi. stretch of S.H. 6 will be reconstructed and widened from two to three lanes in each direction, enhancing capacity for commuters, freight and emergency evacuation routes.
"This groundbreaking signifies the start of an exciting expansion of SH-6 that will boost traffic capacity, strengthen regional connectivity and create a safer, more efficient route for everyone," said Shawn West, president of Fluor's Infrastructure business. "We are proud to partner with TxDOT once again to deliver an infrastructure project that supports Texas' continued growth and prosperity."
S.H. 6 was first constructed more than 50 years ago. More than 100,000 vehicles use it daily, according to kbtx.com.
As part of the Texas Triangle, S.H. 6 serves as a vital north-south artery for Bryan/College Station, Texas A&M University and Brazos County. It also is a key component of the Texas Highway Freight Network, the Texas Highway Trunk System and a designated Hurricane Evacuation Route.
Construction is expected to be completed by the end of 2030.
State Rep. Paul Dyson said this project was about ensuring that the infrastructure around Bryan-College Station kept pace with the area's growth, kbtx.com reported.
"Families are moving here, businesses are investing here, and Texas A&M continues to draw that talent from around the world. This project is about making sure our infrastructure keeps up with the bright future ahead of us," he said.
Fluor Corp. is based in Irvine. Fluor has designed and built infrastructure projects in Texas for nearly 25 years and is executing the I-635 LBJ East and I-35E projects in Dallas, the Oak Hill Parkway and I-35 Capital Express South projects in Austin and the I-35 NEX South project in San Antonio.
