WATSONVILLE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

This CM/GC contract is part of a phased seven-part delivery of the overall $167 million project. The $63 million project contract is included in Granite’s third quarter 2020 backlog.
The Cosumnes Bridge Replacement Project is located on State Route (SR) 99, in Elk Grove, California.

“The Granite team continues to work alongside the Caltrans design and field teams with the shared focus on achieving the project goals,” said Granite Regional Vice President Carter Rohrbough. “We look forward to our continued collaboration with Caltrans on the successful and safe completion of this critical infrastructure.”
Construction materials for the project will be supplied by Granite’s Bradshaw Facility.
