Granite has secured a $US114 million contract for the next segment of the Highway 101 project.
The company confirmed it has been awarded the Segment 4E North of the Highway 101 Carpinteria to Santa Barbara Construction Manager/General Contractor (CM/GC) project by Caltrans. Granite is the construction manager for the entire phase 4 project, and was previously awarded Segment 4E South in 2024.
This project is the seventh and final mainline segment in the Highway 101 Carpinteria to Santa Barbara CM/GC program.
“Granite was selected as the CM/GC in 2018, and construction on the first segment began in 2020,” Granite regional vice president Larry Camilleri said.
“Over the last seven years, Granite has reached agreement on thirteen construction contracts—seven mainline and six ‘parallel’ projects.
“We are proud to be part of this landmark effort with Santa Barbara County Association of Governments and Caltrans to complete the final mainline segment in the 11-mile corridor.”
The project begins this month and ends around December 2028. Granite’s Santa Paula Hot Plant will supply 15,700 tonnes of hot mix asphalt, while the onsite batch plant will produce about 7,000 cubic yards of concrete using aggregates from Bee Rock quarry. Additionally, Granite will produce around 30,000 tonnes of recycled aggregate base with a portable crusher.
