Granite is starting the new year strong with a major win in California! Granite has been awarded a $66M highway improvement contract by Caltrans to enhance safety and reduce congestion along State Route 49 in Nevada County. Funded by both Federal and State partners, this project will appear in Granite’s 2025 Q4 CAP. The work expands SR‑49 to four lanes with a dedicated center turn lane, improving traffic flow and local access in a corridor that saw 59 collisions in just three years—over half due to congestion. The project includes key upgrades such as a truck climbing lane, driveway and side‑street accessibility improvements, enhanced drainage for long‑term durability, and a wildlife crossing box culvert to support the surrounding ecosystem. Granite will also supply 75,000 tons of HMA and RHMA from our Bradshaw Hot Plant to pave the new roadway, ensuring top-quality materials and efficient delivery.

Granite has been awarded a $78 million infrastructure project by the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) in Orange County, California. Project funding is to come from state and federal sources and will be included in Granite’s first-quarter CAP. The project is centered around the demolition and reconstruction of a 320-foot-long concrete bridge. This new bridge is designed to improve mobility throughout the State Route 55 and State Route 91 (SR 55/91) corridor by reducing weaving and merging between ramps, thereby enhancing traffic flow and safety. This is the first of three segmented projects aimed at improving the SR 55/91 connector and reducing congestion. “This project represents the largest local Caltrans project that Granite’s Los Angeles/Orange County (LAOC) team has captured to date,” said Scott McArthur, Granite Vice President of Regional Operations. “Additionally, this project allows Granite to continue to foster our two-time partnering award-winning relationship with District 12 and will also improve our ability to capturing future opportunities with alternative delivery projects in the LA and Orange County market areas.” Construction is expected to begin in April 2025 and be completed in October 2027.
