Granite has been awarded an approximately $16 million contract by the City of Salinas to improve traffic flow on a key thoroughfare between residential areas and Highway 101. This project will enhance safety for pedestrians and bicyclists commuting to and from the adjacent elementary school. Granite will widen East Boronda Road into a four-lane roadway (two lanes in each direction) and construct a multi-lane roundabout at the McKinnon Street intersection.

The project includes construction of bioretention facilities, buffered bike lanes, bus pullouts, sidewalks, ADA-compliant access ramps, storm drain lines, sanitary sewer lines, street lighting, landscaping, and other improvements. Project funding comes from the City of Salinas and will be included in Granite's second-quarter CAP. Granite's Salinas Hot Plant will supply approximately 7,500 tons of Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) and 8,000 tons of Recycled Aggregate Base for this project.

Additionally, Handley Ranch Quarry will provide 18,000 tons of various aggregates. The project is expected to begin in Third Quarter 2024 and be completed in the Fall of 2025.
