Transportation agencies across the western United States continue advancing corridor expansion programs aimed at reducing congestion and improving regional mobility as population growth increases infrastructure demand.

Granite has been awarded a $116.9 million contract by the Utah Department of Transportation for the West Davis Corridor expansion project in West Point, Utah. The project will extend the recently completed SR-177 corridor approximately three miles through northern Davis County.

Corridor Expansion Scope

The transportation program is intended to improve traffic movement and regional connectivity within the growing northern portion of Davis County.

Project work includes construction of nine new bridges, two pedestrian crossings and approximately 70,000 tons of asphalt paving. The contract also calls for placement of more than 1 million cu. yds. of borrow material.

Granite said the project aligns with the contractor’s transportation, paving and structural construction operations within its regional market strategy.

Materials Supply and Construction Operations

Granite plans to source a significant portion of project materials from its Utah operations.

The contractor’s Wells Pit facility will supply approximately 400,000 cu. yds. of borrow material along with 350,000 tons of mechanically stabilized earth fill. Granite’s West Haven asphalt plant is expected to provide roughly 70,000 tons of hot-mix asphalt for paving operations.

The contract will be recorded in Granite’s second-quarter 2026 committed and awarded projects activity.

Transportation Investment Activity in Utah

Utah continues to experience sustained transportation infrastructure expansion driven by population growth and development activity along the Wasatch Front corridor.

State and regional agencies have prioritized highway capacity improvements, corridor extensions and interchange modernization projects to address increasing traffic volumes in rapidly developing suburban markets.

What This Means For Construction Owners

For contractors, suppliers and infrastructure owners, projects such as the West Davis Corridor expansion continue generating demand for bridge construction, earthmoving, paving and materials production capabilities across the Mountain West region.
