Granite (NYSE:GVA) has been awarded a time and materials
contract by the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans).
Granite will clear and repair multiple rock and mudslide areas to
restore access through the Sequoia National Forest near Kings
Canyon National Park. The project, funded by Caltrans, is expected
to generate $12.5 million of work and will be included in Granite's
third-quarter CAP.
Kings Canyon National Park's breathtaking landscapes and
majestic vistas have temporarily become inaccessible due to the
severe impact of the winter storms during the 2022/2023 season.
Multiple rock and mudslides have blocked and washed out several
remote State Route 180 (SR 180) sections, disrupting the vital link
to Kings Canyon National Park. To restore access, Granite crews
will clear debris, rocks, and mudslides; construct retaining walls
to enhance the roadway's stability and safeguard it from future
erosion and landslides; install drainage systems to manage runoff
effectively; and reconstruct sections of SR 180, allowing for a
safe passage along this route.
"Granite has a long history of partnering with Caltrans District
6 to find innovative solutions to urgent and complex transportation
system needs,” said Granite Vice President of Regional Operations,
Carter Rohrbough. “We look forward to working again with Caltrans
District 6 to restore safe access for local and visitor traffic
wanting to visit the breathtaking views of Kings Canyon National
Park.”
The project began in August 2023 and is expected to be completed
in June 2024.
