The Texas Transportation Commission approved $3.4 million last month for the rehabilitation of the Intracoastal Canal Bridge on SH87 in Port Arthur. SCR Construction Co., Inc. was awarded the contract.

“Projects like this are necessary to keep our bridges in safe working order,” said Tucker Ferguson, district engineer for the Beaumont District of TxDOT.

The project will begin in two to four months and will take approximately nine months to complete.
