Firm to lead Union Pacific rail facilities project in Texas to Matamoros, Mexico
Release by HTNB
SAN ANTONIO - Cameron County, the southernmost tip of Texas, has selected HNTB Corporation to lead the fast-track design of Union Pacific rail facilities in Texas and Transportacion Ferroviarias Mexicana facilities across the border in Matamoros, Mexico.
The Cameron County West Railroad Relocation Project involves an estimated $22 million of construction, including approximately seven miles of relocation railway, final design of a new 2,300-foot rail bridge over the Rio Grande River, hydraulic river models and a 1.5-mile arterial roadway.
HNTB's offices in San Antonio and Houston expect to complete design by early 2005 and then provide construction administration services for the project through its completion in late 2005.
"Rail traffic passes through the core of both communities and endangers residents with more than 175 at-grade crossings and the transport of hazardous and industrial cargo through residential areas," said HNTB project director Lamberto "Bobby" Ballí. "The county and city commission feel this is the largest and most important project the area has ever undertaken."

HNTB has really made a strong push in the Texas market during the past few years. They have a strong leadership team in place, they have outstanding technical resources, and a great training program that really sets up their engineers for success. They are out there really winning many of the sexy engineering projects that the state has to offer.
