Granite (NYSE:GVA) has been awarded an approximately $45 million
contract to reconstruct and modernize the John Wilkie Safety
Roadside Rest Area along the Interstate 40 (I-40) corridor by the
California Department of Transportation (Caltrans). Project funding
will come from Caltrans and was included in Granite’s
second-quarter CAP.
This project marks the fifth in a series of initiatives to
improve safety and infrastructure along I-40. The project scope
includes constructing a modern rest area for motorists. Given the
significant distance from the nearest town, this upgraded rest area
will provide a safe place for travelers to rest and recover,
enhancing safety along this stretch of the interstate.
Previous projects included filling in the median, flattening
slopes adjacent to the roadway, and creating recovery areas for
vehicles that leave the highway.
“We are committed to making I-40 safer for all who travel
through this area,” said Bill Moore, Granite Vice President of
Regional Operations. “Our relationship with Caltrans has been
fostered and strengthened through our continued work along the I-40
corridor, and we are excited to contribute further to this vital
infrastructure.”
Granite will provide materials from Desert Cities Asphalt,
including 12,200 tons of asphalt for parking lots and ramps,
ensuring the highest quality and durability for the new rest
area.
The project is expected to begin in September 2024 and be
completed in January 2026.
