A consortium led by 6343 Fluor has been selected by South Carolina’s Department of Transportation to design and build the Port Access Road Project in Charleston.

The project, in one of the US’s fastest growing container ports, will provide direct access between the proposed marine container terminal to be on the former naval base and Interstate 26.

The Fluor-Lane South Carolina consortium is comprised of Fluor and the 2878 Lane Construction Corporation. Construction is expected to start later this year with expected completion in late 2019.

Works include local roadway enhancements to integrate container terminal traffic with existing traffic as well as support regional transport strategies and minimise an impact on the nearby communities and traveling public.

Specifically, the project consists of a new fully directional interchange on I-26, Bainbridge Connector Road, the extension of Stromboli Avenue and associated roadway improvements to surface streets to serve the proposed Naval Base Terminal.

Fluor said in a written statement that it plans to book its share of the contract value in the second quarter of 2016. The company is a global engineering design and construction business based in Irving, Texas. Revenue in 2015 was of US$18.1 billion and the company has around 59,000 employees worldwide.

“We understand the economic importance of commerce and state-wide impact the Port of Charleston has on this region,” said Hans Dekker, president of Fluor’s infrastructure business. “We believe our local team is uniquely qualified to deliver this design-build project on time and on budget by providing capital efficiency and integrated solutions to support the vitality of the fastest growing major container port in the U.S.”
