Granite awarded roughly $21M contract by Caltrans

Granite (GVA) has been awarded an approximately $21M contract by the California Department of Transportation to rehabilitate three miles of pavement on both the northbound and southbound lanes of State Route 99 through Tulare, California. Project funding is to come from federal sources and was included in Granite’s third-quarter CAP. The existing pavement will be removed using cold planing and replaced with 56,300 tons of hot mix asphalt, followed by a cap of 7,200 tons of rubberized hot mix asphalt. In addition to the mainline, thirteen ramps along the corridor will also be repaved. At ten locations, existing concrete pavement at under crossings will be replaced with 2,500 cubic yards of jointed plain concrete pavement. The project also includes comprehensive drainage improvements, upgraded roadside signage, and new striping. The median will be enhanced with the removal and replacement of nearly 32,000 linear feet of thrie beam barrier. Extensive highway electrical upgrades will be implemented along this corridor, including ramp metering systems, camera systems, highway lighting, and traffic monitoring stations.
