Granite (NYSE:GVA) announced today that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Kenny Construction Company (“Kenny”), has been awarded a contract by the Illinois Department of Transportation to rehabilitate sections of Interstate 94 (I-94) at Montrose Avenue in Cook County, Illinois.

The project will replace the superstructure and rehabilitate the substructure of I-94 at Montrose Avenue including improvements to drainage and safety with new roadway and underdeck lighting.
