Con Dig (26-Jun-26) Granite has secured a contract worth approximately $116.9 million from the Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) to extend the West Davis Corridor highway in northern Utah.

The project, which will be included in the company’s second-quarter 2026 committed and awarded projects (CAP), will extend the existing West Davis Corridor (State Route 177) by around three miles through West Point, Utah, with the aim of improving traffic flow, mobility and connectivity across northern Davis County.

Construction work will include the installation of nine new bridges, two pedestrian crossings, approximately 70,000 tons of asphalt paving and the placement of more than one million cubic yards of borrow material.

Granite Regional Vice President Jason Klaumann said the project would continue the development of a key transportation corridor serving one of Utah’s fastest-growing regions.

“This project represents an important step in continuing the buildout of the West Davis Corridor, improving access and mobility for the growing northern Davis County region,” Klaumann said.

“It aligns with our core strengths in structures, paving, and materials, and our home market strategy.”

Watsonville, California-based Granite will also supply a significant portion of the project’s construction materials through its local operations. The company’s Wells Pit will provide approximately 400,000 cubic yards of borrow material and 350,000 tons of mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) fill, while its West Haven asphalt plant will produce 70,000 tons of hot-mix asphalt for paving works.

The award adds to Granite’s transportation infrastructure backlog as the company continues to pursue highway, bridge and civil construction projects across its core markets.

Last month, Granite secured a $15 million pavement preservation contract from the Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities for upgrades along a section of the Glenn Highway, one of Alaska’s key transportation corridors.
