Mario Huber Construction played a key role in the Southern Gateway Infrastructure Upgrade, a large-scale project designed to improve safety, reduce congestion, and enhance long-term mobility for communities south of Dallas, Texas. This initiative modernizes one of the region’s busiest transportation corridors, significantly improving travel reliability for both commercial and residential commuters.
Serving over 200,000 drivers per day, the updated roadway system ensures smoother traffic flow, wider travel lanes, and improved accessibility. The project strengthens the overall transportation network, supporting continued economic growth in the surrounding areas.
As a construction partner on the project, Mario Huber Construction was responsible for major roadway improvements, structural enhancements, and safety upgrades throughout the 11-mile corridor. Our team contributed engineering expertise, modern construction practices, and robust project management to deliver a top-quality result.
The project included extensive earthwork, drainage upgrades, retaining wall construction, structural expansion, and complete pavement revitalization. To alleviate congestion, the roadway was widened to increase lane capacity and improve daily traffic flow.
In key areas, new reversible express lanes were added to support rush-hour traffic demands, creating more efficient entry and exit routes. These upgrades ensure the corridor can accommodate population growth and rising transportation needs for years to come.
Safety improvements included reconstructing sharp curves, expanding shoulders, and integrating modern roadway design standards to prevent accidents and ensure smoother travel.
To reduce disruption to the surrounding communities, Mario Huber Construction implemented a strategic phasing plan that kept traffic moving while roadway upgrades and utility relocations were underway. By coordinating closely with local agencies, project impacts were minimized, and construction progressed efficiently.
A key highlight of the project includes support for the new Southern Gateway Park—an elevated greenspace designed to connect neighborhoods and provide community amenities. Once completed, the park will feature recreation areas, bike paths, open-air gathering spaces, and landscaped gardens, enriching the local community experience.
