司法部反垄断司结案两起地方沥青并购调查：Colas与CRH交易经州检察长和解剥离设施
美国司法部反垄断司10月29日发表声明，宣布结案对两起在地方沥青市场引发竞争关切的交易的调查：法国 Bouygues 集团子公司 Colas Inc. 收购 Suit-Kote Corporation，以及爱尔兰建材商 CRH plc 收购 Arcosa Inc.。两起调查均在联邦层面认定竞争问题只限于个别地方市场后，移交相关州总检察长处理，并已达成和解。
Colas/Suit-Kote 一案中，Bouygues（Colas）于2025年8月宣布拟收购 Suit-Kote。两家公司都在纽约州和宾夕法尼亚州向商业与政府客户提供沥青路面产品与服务。反垄断司开案调查，并于2025年10月向交易双方发出「第二次请求」（Second Request）。经深入调查，反垄断司认定合并只会在纽约州和宾夕法尼亚州少数特定区域减少沥青供应商数量，遂将案件全案移交两州，以便州方与交易方商谈补救措施。其后，交易方与两州达成和解，同意在纽约州和宾夕法尼亚州剥离四处设施；有关文件包括纽约州总检察长第26-065号保证书（2026年10月13日）与宾夕法尼亚州诉 Colas 案（宾州西区联邦地区法院，2026年10月13日立案）。
CRH/Arcosa 一案中，CRH 于2026年6月宣布拟以约85亿美元收购美国基础设施材料商 Arcosa。反垄断司的初步调查将潜在竞争关切缩小到新泽西州一处地方热拌沥青市场，遂将案件移交新泽西州总检察长；联邦调查保持开启、未发出第二次请求，以监督州方进展。其后，交易方与新泽西州总检察长达成协议，同意剥离该州若干设施（Davenport 诉 CRH 案，新泽西联邦地区法院，2026年10月20日立案）。
反垄断司表示，在两起案件中，州方与交易方均达成了解决地方市场竞争关切的协议；反垄断司将继续优先高效使用联邦执法资源，并支持州总检察长执法伙伴处理地方事务。反垄断司同时说明，其对上述和解条款本身不持立场。

DOJ Antitrust Division Closes Two Local Asphalt Merger Probes After State Settlements With Facility Divestitures
The U.S. Department of Justice's Antitrust Division issued a statement on October 29 announcing the closing of its investigations into two transactions that raised competition issues in local asphalt markets: Colas Inc.'s acquisition of Suit-Kote Corporation, and CRH plc's acquisition of Arcosa Inc. In both matters, the Division found competition concerns confined to discrete local markets, referred the cases to state attorneys general, and the parties reached settlements.
In Colas/Suit-Kote, Bouygues (Colas) announced in August 2025 its intention to acquire Suit-Kote. Both companies offer asphalt pavement products and services to commercial and government customers in New York and Pennsylvania. The Division opened an investigation and issued Second Requests to the parties in October 2025. After an extensive investigation, the Division identified only discrete geographic areas in New York and Pennsylvania where the merger would reduce the number of asphalt suppliers, and fully referred the matter to those states so they could engage with the parties on remedies. The parties and the states then agreed to a settlement including divestiture of four facilities in New York and Pennsylvania, reflected in filings including New York Assurance No. 26-065 (October 13, 2026) and Pennsylvania v. Colas Inc. (W.D. Pa., filed October 13, 2026).
In CRH/Arcosa, Irish building materials provider CRH announced in June 2026 that it would acquire U.S. infrastructure materials provider Arcosa for approximately $8.5 billion. The Division's preliminary investigation narrowed potential concerns to a local market for hot-mix asphalt in a region of New Jersey, and it referred the matter to the New Jersey Attorney General while keeping its own investigation open without issuing a Second Request. The parties subsequently agreed with New Jersey to divest certain facilities in the state (Davenport v. CRH plc, D.N.J., filed October 20, 2026).
The Division said it commends the states and parties for reaching agreements resolving the states' concerns about competition in their local markets, and that it continues to prioritize efficient use of federal enforcement resources and complementary support of state attorney general enforcement partners in local matters. The Division took no position on the terms of the settlements.
