As part of the contract, Granite will be responsible for the full reconstruction and addition of three miles of new high occupancy vehicle lanes, on- and off-ramp improvements, construction of new sound walls as well as improvements to local streets and intersections.
The road project will also involve about 64,000 cubic yards of excavation, 55,000 tons of aggregate, 39,000 cubic yards of reinforced concrete pavement, 29,000 tons of hot-mix asphalt and 14,300 linear feet of concrete barrier.
Granite said that hot-mix asphalt and aggregate materials will be provided by its nearby Santa Paula Hot Plant, Bee Rock Quarry and Gardner facility.
Construction on the project is expected to commence this month and is estimated to be finished by summer 2022.
