Construction will include extensive excavation and the building of new levee embankments. Structural concrete for the project will include a weir crest structure with an adjoining stilling basin, a fish passage and fish ladder facility, and the vehicle bridge structure. Additionally, rip-rap will be placed along levee embankments on the project. More than 28,000 tons of aggregates will be supplied by Granite’s Capay Aggregate Plant for various portions of the project, including road base and structural backfill materials. Additionally, 6,000 tons of hot mix asphalt (HMA) will be supplied by Granite’s Bradshaw Asphalt Plant and utilized to build roadways and access routes on the project.
"The Weir Widening Project is a critical infrastructure project for our city and region," said Granite Vice President of Regional Operations, Carter Rohrbough. "By expanding the Weir and bypass, we will be able to reduce regional flood risk and provide important protections for our community and the environment."
