Once completed, the new northbound off-ramp and the southbound on-ramp to SR 14 are expected to offer an additional access point to the highway and improve safety by alleviating congestion on SR 14 and providing better usability for Ave J.

Granite will supply about 17,000 tonnes of asphalt materials from its Big Rock Plant in Llano, California, to finish this project.

Granite area manager Andrew Burk said: “The City of Lancaster has been a great partner since we started operating in the Antelope Valley 35 years ago.

“Granite has a long-standing commitment to safety and quality, and the company is proud to have been selected for this important project.”

The project is scheduled to begin this quarter and is anticipated to finish in the second quarter of 2024.

In January, Granite received a $46m contract from Caltrans for improving safety and mobility along US Highway 101 in Humboldt County.
