Road & Highway Crossings in Greater Austin
The standard crossing — 80 to 400 feet, a few conduits, pavement untouched — runs through the usual Texas machinery: municipal ROW permits in the cities, county road permits across the five counties, TxDOT's utility-installation process on state corridors with the accommodation rules setting cover. We build the package for whichever authority owns your pavement, and we pothole everything the locates claim before the pilot turns.
Austin's pricing truth is the same line that splits everything here: a crossing under a west-side parkway is a rock job, a crossing under an eastern farm-to-market is a clay job, and an honest quote says which one you're buying. Ours does, with the ground assumption stated and the transition plan carried where the line is close.
Homeowner straight talk, standing policy: open ground on your own property trenches cheaper than it bores — you'll hear that from us on the first call. Where a public road forces the crossing, real projects start at a $10,000 minimum; the rig, crew, locates, and traffic control have a floor, on either side of the fault line.
Straight answers
Do you bore under MoPac, I-35, and the toll corridors?
Yes — state and toll-authority corridors each run their own permit process with the bore plan attached and cover to their standard. The west-side corridors add rock to the equation; the schedule we quote carries both the review clock and the ground truth.
Can you work night hours for closures?
Where the permit or traffic plan requires night work, we scope it as night work — crew differential, lighting, and inspection coordination included — rather than quoting day rates and renegotiating at the lane closure.
