Knife River Corporation announced that it has been awarded a $112 million materials and paving project in Texas. Known locally as "Big 6," the State Highway 6 improvement project in the Bryan/College Station area started this month and is expected to be completed in 2030. A 12-mile stretch of the highway is being reconstructed and expanded from four lanes to six, enhancing capacity for commuters, freight and emergency evacuation routes in this high-growth market.
Knife River's Texas operation is an asphalt and paving subcontractor to Fluor Corporation on the $671 million Texas Department of Transportation project. The Big 6 project calls for Knife River to provide approximately 928,000 tons of hot-mix asphalt for the widened road, upgraded interchanges, reconfigured auxiliary lanes and new shared paths for bicycles and pedestrians. In addition to asphalt and paving, Knife River has an opportunity to provide sand, MSE backfill and base course to Fluor Corporation on an as-needed basis throughout the project.
