Granite has been awarded an approximately $36 million contract by the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) to rehabilitate pavement along Highway 162 in Mendocino County, California. Project funding comes from both federal funds and the California Senate Bill (SB1) and was included in Granite?s first-quarter CAP. The project will improve 25 miles of roadway, the only highway connection to the Covelo-Round Valley area.

Granite will furnish and place 150,000 tons of conventional and rubberized hot mix asphalt to rebuild the structural section of the roadway. The rubberized surface course will utilize recycled tires and provide a smooth, quiet, and safe driving surface. All fine aggregate will come from Granite?s Highway 175 Quarry.

The project is expected to begin in June 2024 and be completed in September of 2025.
