Granite has been awarded an approximately $25 million contract by the City of Everett to remove and replace the Edgewater Creek Bridge. The project will be funded by federal grants and local funds, and will be included in Granite?s second-quarter CAP. Project scope includes the removal of the existing bridge, originally built in 1946, and the construction of a new bridge over the Edgewater Creek Basin.

The project presents engineering challenges due to the steep and unstable soils of the ravine. To overcome these, a trestle will be constructed to facilitate access for the work. The project site is located within 7 miles of Granite?s regional office, furthering its relationship with the City of Everett.

This project provides a robust backlog for the region over the next year and a half. Granite?s Smith Island Facility will supply 1,610 tons of Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA), and its Granite Falls Aggregate Plant will supply 4,685 tons of aggregates. Construction is expected to begin November 2024 and be completed in January 2026.
