A Coastal Corridor Caltrans upgrade recrafts U.S.Route 101 in California

摘要

As part of an overall strategy to relieve congestion and expand mobility options in Santa Barbara County, Calif., Granite Construction is serving as construction manager for Caltrans' upgrade of a 10.8-mile segment of U.S. Route 101 between the cities of Santa Barbara and Carpinteria. The $410-million project, which began construction in 2020, will add a peak-period carpool lane to the freeway in each direction, reconstruct creek crossings to improve water flow, upgrade freeway access ramps and improve adjacent streets and intersections. In addition, Granite also has been awarded multiple general contractor assignments for work along the corridor, including roadway demolition, new retaining walls and refinements to the highway's curve geometry. The entire program is scheduled to be complete by 2028.
