SALT LAKE CITY, UT — Granite announces it has been awarded a $111 million contract by the Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) for a major infrastructure project in Salt Lake City. Project funding is to come from UDOT and federal sources.
The Interstate 215 (I-215); State Route 201 (SR-201) to North Temple project spans from milepost 19.53 to 22.8 and includes the rehabilitation of 3 miles of I-215, and 12 miles of ramps for SR-201, Interstate 80, and California Avenue, along with the rehabilitation of 22 bridges.
“This project is multifaceted, encompassing a diverse array of components that span strategic planning, creative development, stakeholder engagement, and operational execution,” said Jason Klaumann, Granite Vice President of Regional Operations. “It will keep Granite’s paving and structure crews busy through the winter and into the fall of 2026, further strengthening the company’s relationship with UDOT and positioning Granite as a key player in future large bid-build projects.”
Key elements of the project include:
- Rubblizing existing Portland Cement Concrete Pavement and overlaying with 175,000 tons of highly modified hot mix asphalt (HMHMA)
- Structural deck replacements, hydro-demolition, and pothole patching across 22 bridges (18 deck replacements: 10 via hydro-demolition, eight standard remove and replace)
- Installation of 22,000 linear feet of storm drain
- Ramp metering installation at California Avenue
