en.Wedoany.com Reported - Granite announced today that it has been awarded the Construction Management/General Contractor (CM/GC) project for Segment 4E North of the Highway 101 Carpinteria to Santa Barbara section by the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), with a contract value of approximately $114 million. Granite serves as the Construction Manager for the entire Phase 4 program and was previously awarded the Segment 4E South project in 2024.

This project is the seventh and final mainline segment within the Highway 101 Carpinteria to Santa Barbara CM/GC program, aimed at improving safety and relieving congestion on U.S. Highway 101 in Santa Barbara County. Segment 4E North will replace existing lanes and add one new peak-period High-Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lane in each direction between Hermosillo Road and Salinas Street. The Cabrillo Boulevard interchange will be reconstructed, featuring two new bridges and right-side freeway on-ramps to replace the existing left-side ramps. On Cabrillo Boulevard, a new teardrop roundabout will help improve traffic flow at the intersection with the northbound Highway 101 on-ramp.

Granite Regional Vice President Larry Camilleri stated, "Granite was selected as the CM/GC in 2018, with construction on the first segment beginning in 2020. Over the past seven years, Granite has reached agreement on 13 construction contracts—seven mainline projects and six 'parallel' projects. We are proud to participate in this project alongside the Santa Barbara County Association of Governments and Caltrans, completing the final mainline segment along this 11-mile corridor."

Granite's Santa Paula hot mix asphalt plant will supply 15,700 tons of hot mix asphalt, and an on-site batch plant will utilize aggregates from its Bee Rock quarry to produce approximately 7,000 cubic yards of concrete. Granite will also use a mobile crusher to produce approximately 30,000 tons of recycled aggregate base on-site. The project is scheduled to commence in April 2026 and is expected to be completed by December 2028.
