FORT HOOD GEORGETOWN BRIDGE REPLACEMENT

Zachry Federal Construction Corporation was awarded a design-build project at Fort Hood with JSR Contractors for the United States Army Corps of Engineers to replace Georgetown Road Bridge at Cowhouse Creek.

The design-build project included the construction of a new vehicular bridge structure on Old Georgetown Road over Cowhouse Creek to replace a low water crossing that was damaged along with the vehicular traffic bridge running parallel to the low water crossing due to a significant rain event. Zachry delivered the new bridge, designed to handle a 100-year rain event, thereby providing a critical connection between the main cantonment area of Fort Hood and the training areas and ranges on the west side of the installation.

The work included approach roadways, embankments, channel modification, establishment and maintenance of the stormwater prevention pollution plan, signage, striping, traffic control and the removal of the existing low water crossing roadwayand elliptical corrugated metal pipes. The project also includes demolition of an existing 6 span bridge consisting of concrete and steel beam spans and one truss span.

PORT SAN ANTONIO TAXIWAY M

The Port San Antonio Consolidated Facility Package 3: Taxiway M project includes construction of new airfield pavement and supporting infrastructure at Port San Antonio. Zachry’s scope includes excavation and soil preparation, followed by lime treatment, cement-treated base, concrete paving, and asphalt paving. The project also includes site drainage, utilities, and flatwork to support the new taxiway infrastructure. The combination of pavement, utility, and drainage improvements requires careful coordination across multiple scopes to deliver a complete and durable airfield facility. Together, these improvements will provide the infrastructure needed to support continued development and operations at Port San Antonio.
