Granite Construction has been awarded an approximately $38 million contract by the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) to upgrade both eastbound and westbound segments of the Cactus City Rest Area near Coachella, California. This project is funded by state and federal sources and will be included in Granite’s second-quarter Committed and Awarded Projects (CAP).
The project scope includes the demolition of existing structures, earthwork, grading, new drainage installation, and ramp and parking lot paving. New facilities construction will also be undertaken, with Granite’s nearby Desert Cities Asphalt Plant providing 21,000 tons of hot mix asphalt (HMA) for parking lots and ramps.
This initiative is part of Granite’s ongoing efforts to upgrade roadside rest areas, providing clean and safe spaces for travelers. Construction is expected to begin in July 2025 and is projected to be completed in September 2026, serving as an anchor job for the Coachella Valley market.
