As first reported by KLFY+ partner Developing Lafayette, Triton Construction, the general contractor on the project, said construction is currently on pause due to a combination of design delays and poor weather conditions.
“The job is currently at a standstill due to some design delays. The weather has also been terrible. So with those two issues, us (Triton), the general contractor, and owner decided to hold off for now and wait for better weather conditions,” a Triton representative said. “There are no issues between contractor and owner. Everyone is on the same page. We have recently been in discussions to get back out there. I don’t have a date yet but should be happening soon.”
The Lafayette Economic Development Authority announced in December that Buc-ee’s has picked Lafayette for a location and that the company will spend $82 million on the project. Approximately $12.5 million is for public infrastructure.
The Lafayette location will encompass more than 74,000 square feet and will provide about 120 gas pumps, according to LEDA’s original announcement. The new travel center is also expected to create 150 jobs with pay starting at $17 per hour.
