LIMITED POWER OF ATTORNEY

FOR SECTION 16(a) REPORTING

KNOW ALL PERSONS BY THESE PRESENTS, that the undersigned hereby makes, constitutes and appoints

James H. Roberts, Richard A. Watts and Nancy Valek-Corbett, and each of them, as the undersigned's true and lawful

attorney-in-fact (the "Attorney-in Fact"), with full power of substitution and re-substitution, each with the power to act

alone for the undersigned and in the undersigned's name, place and stead, in any and all capacities to:

1. prepare, execute and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission, any national securities

exchange or securities quotation system and Granite Construction Incorporated (the "Company") any and all reports

(including any amendment thereto) of the undersigned required or considered advisable under Section 16(a) of the

Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") and the rules and regulations thereunder, with respect to the

equity securities of the Company, including Forms 3, 4 and 5; and

2. obtain, as the undersigned's representative and on the undersigned's behalf, information regarding

transactions in the Company's equity securities from any third party, including the Company and any brokers, dealers,

any such information to the Attorney-in-Fact.

The undersigned acknowledges that:

1. this Limited Power of Attorney authorizes, but does not require, the Attorney-in-Fact to act at his or her

discretion on information provided to such Attorney-in-Fact without independent verification of such information;

2. any documents prepared or executed by the Attorney-in-Fact on behalf of the undersigned pursuant to

this Limited Power of Attorney will be in such form and will contain such information as the Attorney-in-Fact, in his or

her discretion, deems necessary or desirable;

3. neither the Company nor the Attorney-in-Fact assumes any liability for the undersigned's responsibility

to comply with the requirements of Section 16 of the Exchange Act, any liability of the undersigned for any failure to

Exchange Act; and

4. this Limited Power of Attorney does not relieve the undersigned from responsibility for compliance with

the undersigned's obligations under Section 16 of the Exchange Act, including, without, limitation, the reporting

The undersigned hereby grants to the Attorney-in-Fact full power and authority to do and perform each and

every act and thing requisite, necessary or convenient to be done in connection with the foregoing, as fully, to all intents

and purposes, as the undersigned might or could do in person, hereby ratifying and confirming all that the Attorney-in-

Fact, or his or her substitute or substitutes, shall lawfully do or cause to be done by authority of this Limited Power of

Attorney.

The execution by the undersigned of this Limited Power of Attorney hereby expressly revokes and terminates

any powers of attorney previously granted by the undersigned with respect to the preparation, execution and filing of

reports of the undersigned under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder with respect

to the equity securities of the Company. This Limited Power of Attorney shall remain in full force and effect until the

This Limited Power of Attorney shall be governed and construed in accordance the laws of the State of
