The IH30 project consists of new construction and reconstruction of frontage roads. Austin Bridge and Road was given the contract to build 22 bridges, consisting of main lane crossovers, turnarounds and flyovers. The project also includes reconstruction of State Highway 59 at the IH30 interchange and the installation of 25 retaining walls. The bridge and road work is the both the biggest construction project Texarkana has ever had, and the largest contract that Austin Bridge and Road has ever signed.

Like many bridge construction project designs, there are many repetitive elements, such as stems and pier caps. Austin talked to Symons^® about forming them as productively as possible. They knew that even small ways to simplify construction add up to big savings over the duration of the project.
