Granite Construction has been awarded an approximately $88 million contract by the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) to improve a section of Ortega Highway State Route 74 (SR 74). This project aims to significantly enhance safety on the narrow two-lane mountainous highway.
The project scope includes widening the shoulders and roadway to allow for the installation of centerline and edge line rumble strips, providing additional vehicle buffer room. Additionally, the highway will be resurfaced to ensure safer and more efficient travel.
Project funding will come from state and federal sources and was included in Granite’s first-quarter Committed and Awarded Projects (CAP). Construction is expected to begin in April 2025 and is slated for completion in November 2026, expanding Granite's footprint in the Inland Empire of Southern California.
