TUCSON, AZ — Granite, lead partner in the Granite-Traylor Joint Venture with Traylor Bros. Inc., has been selected by the City of Tucson for the 22nd Street Widening and Bridge Replacement Project in Tucson, Arizona. The $157 million project will be funded by the City of Tucson, the Regional Transportation Authority, and a $25 million RAISE Grant.
This project will rebuild 22nd Street from Kino Parkway to Tucson Boulevard and replace the current four-lane bridge over Barraza-Aviation Parkway and the Union Pacific Railroad with a modern six-lane bridge. As a major east-west route and Regional Freight Corridor, these upgrades address structural deficiencies, enhance safety and connectivity, and support regional economic growth.
“Granite and Traylor have a proven history of successful collaboration on past projects and will bring that same teamwork to the City of Tucson,” Granite Vice President of Regional Operations Derek Betts said. “By combining Granite’s strong local resources with Traylor’s extensive experience in complex segmental bridge construction, we are well positioned to deliver a high-quality project for the people of Tucson.”
Granite will supply 10,525 tons of asphalt from its nearby Swan Facility, leveraging local capabilities for efficiency and sustainability.
