Cintra’s LBJ Express managed lanes toll road was opened to traffic in north Dallas three months ahead of schedule on September 10, marking another major P3 milestone in Texas for developer-operator Cintra and its sister company, Ferrovial Agroman.

According to Russell Zapalac, Chief Planning & Project Officer for Texas DOT, neither Texas DOT nor Ferrovial requested any change orders to the $2-billion design-build contract signed in 2011 to rebuild 16 miles of I-635 and I-35E  north of Dallas. Among other things, 10 miles of cantilevered structures were built under traffic that peaked in the corridor at about 270,000 vehicles per day.
