Construction Begins on Laredo's $26 Million State Loop 480
The third portion of what will eventually become part of the entire Eagle Pass Outer Loop began late summer with Laredo’s 5.6-mi-segment construction of State Loop 480.
Zachry Construction Corp.’s Grand Prairie office will be responsible for constructing the segment at a cost of $26.2 million. The project, with limits from FM 1021 to U.S. 57, calls for the construction of a non-freeway facility consisting of grading, hot-mix asphaltic concrete pavement, flex-base materials, treatment to subgrade, bridges and drainage structures, pavement markings, illumination and signals. The project is 5.670 mi. in length.
