About This Project
Highway Transformation in the Heart of the Rio Grande Valley
The I-2/I-69C interchange in Texas is undergoing a major transformation, driven by one of the region’s most significant road infrastructure projects. Located in the busy urban corridor that includes McAllen, Pharr, and San Juan, the goal is to improve traffic efficiency, enhance safety, and modernize roadway access in a vital commercial zone near the U.S.–Mexico border.
Project Scope and Key Benefits
This ambitious initiative involves a complete redesign of the interchange and upgrades over 12 kilometers (7.5 miles) of interstate highways. Construction plans include:
- New elevated ramps.
- Wider lanes for increased capacity.
- Improved access points.
The project aims to reduce travel times, minimize congestion, and boost trade and transport infrastructure across South Texas. It is a strategic investment in economic and logistical development, supporting cross-border movement of goods and services.
