Lehman-Roberts, a Granite Company, Spearheads Infrastructure Upgrade in Memphis, Tennessee

MEMPHIS, TN — Granite announces that Lehman-Roberts, a Granite company, has been selected as a subcontractor by Dement Construction Company, LLC on a project for the Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) in the ongoing infrastructure upgrade project where Interstate 22 terminates into State Route 4 and U.S. Route 78 southeast of downtown Memphis, Tennessee. Funded by federal and TDOT funds, Lehman-Roberts’ portion of the contract is approximately $21 million and will be included in Granite’s second-quarter CAP.

Phase 2, the project’s current phase, involves the addition of extra lanes and overpasses spanning approximately 2 miles to relieve daily traffic congestion and improve overall transportation efficiency. This follows the successful completion of Phase 1, which was also paved by Lehman-Roberts from 2018 to 2023.

The project is located in the heart of one of the Southeast’s largest intermodal facilities that services the BNSF railway.

“Lehman-Roberts is excited to contribute to this significant infrastructure upgrade and looks forward to continuing its work in enhancing transportation networks across the region,” said Patrick Nelson, Lehman-Roberts and Memphis Stone & Gravel President. “Lehman-Roberts maintains a strong working relationship with the project owner and prime contractor, underscoring the company’s commitment to delivering high-quality work at competitive prices."

Lehman-Roberts will produce approximately 178,000 tons of hot mix asphalt for this project. In addition, Granite-owned Memphis Stone & Gravel will supply key materials for the project, including approximately 2,600 tons of washed sand, 182,000 tons of clay gravel, and 32,000 tons of screened gravel from their DeSoto plant.
