Highways

摘要

Granite Construction Co., Watsonville, Calif., has finally pulled the plug on its $217-million project to upgrade Oregon's coastal highway U.S. 20. The Oregon Dept. of Transportation has reached an agreement with Granite's subsidiary, Ya-quina River Constructors, to terminate its design-build contract. The project ran into problems when Yaquina's newly constructed bridge bents shifted in the landslide-prone area.
