The Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT) has selected Granite Construction Inc. (Granite) for a project, valued at nearly $58 million, to rebuild a stretch of road in Sparks, Nevada.
The project is an extension of the company’s award-winning Pyramid and McCarran Intersection Improvement Project, completed in 2017. Funding for the project will come from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA).
The Pyramid Highway expansion will convert the four-lane freeway into a six-lane high-access arterial road, spanning from Queen Way to Los Altos Parkway. The reconstruction project will include three lanes of traffic in each direction, bike lanes, curb and gutter improvements, a wide median, curb improvements and a barrier-protected shared path on the east side of the road.
Additionally, the stretch between Los Altos Parkway and Golden View Drive will have four lanes of traffic and improvements such as sound/screen walls and a protected sidewalk on the west side of the road.
The project is scheduled to begin this month and is expected to be completed by February 2025.
“Granite has a long working relationship with NDOT [and] We are excited to deliver another quality project,” says Granite Area Manager Taylor Polan. “This project fits our strengths in Northern Nevada and we look forward to improving our community by helping to relieve congestion in the traffic on this busy corridor.”
