How can you shutter a highway? I mean, once it is built you can’t unbuild it? Am I mistaken?
They didn’t actually shutter the road. The toll road company, SH-130 Concessions, filed for bankruptcy, and emerged from it in July under new ownership. Cintra and Zachry Construction owned it before the backruptcy. Louis Berger, the U.S. govnerment and a number of other debtors now effectively own the company. The road is still open, and the company is making about $60 million dollars in repairs to the road.
