Nearly two years after announcing the award of a design-build contract between The Lane Construction Corp. and joint-venture partner Webuild Group to build a high-speed railway between Dallas and Houston for Texas Central, the final agreement on the design-build project has been signed.
This moves the project to the advanced design stage and also finalizes its cost at $16 billion. While one challenge to the line was dismissed by Texas’ high court on June 18, other challenges remain.
