Granite stated that it will work with around 250,000 cubic yards for embankments, and another 50,000 cubic yards during excavation process.

Granite project executive Domingo Gonzalez said: “This project will reduce congestion on SH 288 and will improve the daily lives of commuters in the Houston metro area.

“In addition, this win bolsters the Texas Region’s strategy to expand Granite’s home market presence in Houston. We have a great relationship with the subcontractor and supplier communities in the area and this project will improve Granite’s strategic position to pursue the additional contracts in TxDOT’s upcoming bid lettings later this summer.”

The project is expected to commence in fourth quarter of 2022 and slated to complete in early 2024.
