Jacobs advances major highway modernizations in California

Key Terms

forward-looking statements regulatory

Forward-looking statements are predictions or plans that companies share about what they expect to happen in the future, like estimating sales or profits. They matter because they help investors understand a company's outlook, but since they are based on guesses and assumptions, they can sometimes be wrong.

infrastructure investment and jobs act regulatory

A major federal law that authorizes large-scale public spending on roads, bridges, public transit, water systems, broadband, electric grid upgrades and other core physical systems. For investors it matters because the law directs predictable government money into specific industries, creating new contracts, steady demand and potential long-term revenue for companies involved—like a government checkbook funding repairs and upgrades to the infrastructure businesses and communities rely on.

tariffs regulatory

Tariffs are taxes imposed by a government on goods imported from other countries. They increase the cost of those goods, which can lead to higher prices for consumers and impact international trade. For investors, tariffs matter because they can influence the profitability of companies, affect supply chains, and shift economic stability across different regions.

Projects will ease congestion and improve travel reliability along two of Orange County’s most traveled corridors

DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Jacobs (NYSE:J) has been selected by the Orange County Transportation Authority to provide construction management services for two major highway improvement projects designed to enhance mobility and reduce congestion in Orange County, California.

The SR-91 Improvement Project between La Palma and SR-55 will add a new eastbound general-purpose lane, widen bridges and reconstruct interchanges to improve traffic operations. SR‑91 carries more than 300,000 vehicles per day and is a critical connection between Orange County and the Inland Empire, where growing demand has increased congestion and delays.

Jacobs will also deliver construction management services for the I-5 Improvement Project between I-405 and Yale Avenue. This section of I-5 is one of the busiest in Southern California, with average daily traffic exceeding 275,000 vehicles. The project will enhance safety, improve travel times and support economic growth in the region.

Jacobs Executive Vice President Eva Wood said: “These projects are essential to improving mobility in one of the nation’s most congested regions. Los Angeles and Orange County drivers lose an average of 88 hours annually to traffic delays and with population and employment expected to grow by more than 20% combined by 2045, the need for efficient, resilient infrastructure has never been greater.”

Improvements to SR‑91 and I‑5 will support Orange County’s long‑range transportation plan, delivering measurable benefits for commuters, residents and visitors through congestion relief, increased reliability and modernized infrastructure.
