Dan Richardson has joined MV Engineering as Director of
Transportation after a remarkable 35-year career with TxDOT.
Dan began his career in 1988 at the TxDOT Big Spring Area Office,
where he became Area Engineer before transferring to the same
position in Abilene. He moved on to responsible positions at the
District office in planning, schematics, PS&E, bridges, hydraulics,
pavement, traffic operations, geotechnical, and construction. The
bulk of his experience was as the District Design Engineer.
Dan became the District's go-to authority on all design matters
and the code book. Among his major projects was the
development of the US 87 Truck Reliever Route schematic and
PS&E in Big Spring, designed to interstate standards. Additionally,
he played a crucial role in the six-lane Winters Freeway
reconstruction, Loop 322 Jake Roberts Freeway widening, and the
new-location US 277 Haskell bypass.
In addition to his many roles, Dan was the District hydraulic
engineer and was involved in all H&H matters. The deep design
and area office experience give him a comprehensive set of
experiences that few retiring TxDOT highway engineers possess.
