Laredo, Texas, is on the cusp of a major transformation. Fueled by population increases, expanding residential neighborhoods and major civic investments, the city’s transportation infrastructure is under pressure to keep pace.

(LAN) designed a new overpass as part of the State Loop 20 (SL 20) Cuatro Vientos expansion project through the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT).
