THE WOODLANDS, Texas–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Sterling Construction Company, Inc. (NasdaqGS: STRL) (“Sterling” or “the
Company”) today announced that its subsidiary, Ralph L. Wadsworth
Construction Company, LLC (“RLW”) has been selected by the Utah
Department of Transportation (“UDOT”) to construct a new Express Lane
extension on I-15 from Layton, UT to Riverdale, UT. The $94 million
project is scheduled to commence in May of 2019, with completion
targeted for the fourth quarter of 2020.
The project consists of constructing a new Express Lane on I-15 from
Milepost 331 to Milepost 340, which will entail the widening of the
existing I-15 median, along with the widening and replacement of eight
bridge decks and the full replacement of two bridges. RLW will also
install several new retaining walls, in addition to drainage upgrades,
pavement rehabilitation, landscaping, and signage improvements. At the
conclusion of the project, approximately 80 miles of Express Lanes will
be connected from Spanish Fork, UT to Riverdale, UT.
Joe Cutillo, Sterling’s CEO commented, “RLW continues to strengthen its
momentum in Utah with yet another impressive project award. We value our
strong relationship with UDOT and are pleased to have the opportunity to
better meet the needs of commuters as I-15 is the main transportation
facility and primary commuter route that links Davis and Weber county.
Our Utah business has a successful track record of executing and
completing large, high profile projects, and we’re confident that this
$94 million award will make a meaningful contribution to Sterling’s
profitability in the back-half of 2019 and through most of 2020.”
