Business Wire
Granite (NYSE:GVA) has been awarded an approximately $38 million
contract (Segment 4E South) by the California Department of
Transportation (Caltrans) to add peak-hour High Occupancy Vehicle
(HOV) lanes and reconstruct all elements of the existing Highway
101 through southern Santa Barbara. Project funding is to come from
Caltrans and local sources and was included in Granite’s
second-quarter CAP.
This is the sixth Highway 101 mainline segment awarded to
Granite under its Construction Manager/General Contractor (CMGC)
contract. The collaborative team, including Granite, Caltrans, and
the Santa Barbara County Association of Governments (SBCAG), have
worked together for over five years under this contract to make
improvements to Highway 101.
Mainline segments in Carpinteria and Summerland are complete,
and the mainline segment south of Summerland is scheduled for
completion by the end of this year. Multiple segments are underway
in Montecito and are scheduled for completion in 2026. The Segment
4E South contract will fully integrate into the Montecito segments,
maximizing synergies and enhancing overall project efficiency.
In addition to improving traffic flow, this project emphasizes
sustainability. Materials removed from existing facilities are
recycled into aggregate base (13,000 tons). The concrete used for
paving is produced from an onsite batch plant (11,800 cubic yards),
with materials sourced from Granite’s nearby aggregate facilities
(19,000 tons). Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) will be supplied from
Granite’s Gardner and Santa Paula Hot Plants (12,850 tons).
“This project is another significant step forward to relieving
traffic congestion through this critical corridor,” said Larry
Camilleri, Granite Vice President of Regional Operations. “We are
excited to work with Caltrans and SBCAG to deliver another
important project for the community and traveling public.”
This segment is expected to begin in September 2024 and be
completed in October 2026.
