We had a blast yesterday at MoDOT Kansas City's annual Bring Your Child to Work Day, where more than 80 future builders put their creativity, teamwork, and problem-solving skills to the test!

Using the materials provided, participants were challenged to design and build bridges over a roadway — not unlike the work our teams tackle every day on the MoDOT Improve I-70 KC project.

We loved seeing the curiosity, innovation, and excitement that everyone brought to the activity. Thanks to MoDOT for inviting us to be part of another fantastic event. We hope to see some of these future builders on a Clarkson jobsite someday!

This summer, Cadyn is gaining valuable industry experience with the Clarkson Construction team while studying Construction Engineering Technology at MoWest.

So far, Cadyn has been learning the fundamentals of estimating while building skills in industry software and has enjoyed getting exposure to so many different disciplines that come together to deliver successful construction projects!

Outside of work, Cadyn enjoys spending time with friends and family, attending Kansas City Royals games, playing video games, and anything related to baseball, whether that's coaching, playing, or following the game.

Welcome to the team, Cadyn! We can't wait to see everything you accomplish with us this summer.

Progress is taking shape on the Pryor Road Improvements Project in Lee's Summit! Our crews have been hard at work placing an average of 200-300 cubic yards of concrete each day — the pour featured here near the intersection of Pryor and Scherer Roads included a 350-foot-long section of pavement measuring 22 feet wide and 9 inches deep.

To help maximize productivity and make the most of crew time, much of the work on the project includes pouring curb and gutter at the same time as the driving lanes, an approach that keeps the project moving efficiently while maintaining quality!

A big thank you to area residents and travelers for their patience throughout construction. We're excited to continue making progress and look forward to delivering a safer, improved roadway for the Lee's Summit community!

This recognition belongs to the incredible members of the Clarkson team who consistently step up to give their time, talents, and hearts to others. Your dedication to serving our communities is what makes honors like this possible!

Our thanks to The Builders for this recognition, and thank you to every Clarkson employee who continues to make a difference both on and off the jobsite.

Following the August demolition of the existing Holmes Street bridge over I-670 in downtown Kansas City, our crews have been working hard to deliver its replacement. Today, we're excited to share that the new bridge is now open to traffic ahead of schedule!

The project replaces a bridge that was nearing the end of its service life while bringing several important improvements to the corridor, including upgraded infrastructure, increased vertical clearance to meet current standards, and enhanced safety for motorists and pedestrians traveling through the area.

A big thanks to the residents, businesses, and visitors who navigated detours and traffic changes during construction. We appreciate your patience as our team worked to deliver a safer, more reliable bridge for the community!

What a fun weekend at the Truesdale Railroad Days: Summerfest! From local vendors and train displays to face painting, bounce houses, games, live music, and plenty of tasty treats, there was something for everyone to enjoy.

Clarkson was proud to support this year's event as a Diamond Sponsor and be part of a celebration that brings the community together. A special shout out to Tammy Bremer (Office Manager) and Raeha Nobbs (Procurement Specialist) from our City of Truesdale, MO office, who volunteered as this year's barrel train engineers and conductors!

Thanks to everyone who stopped by, volunteered, and helped make the event such a success. We already can't wait for next year!

Over the weekend, the Clarkson-Radmacher Joint Venture team gathered at Longview Lake for a Picnic in the Park to celebrate the hard work of everyone involved on the Improve I-70 Kansas City project.

With the project running on schedule and zero lost time incidents to date, it was the perfect opportunity to thank the team for their commitment to safety, quality, and teamwork. Crews and their families enjoyed yard games, a fantastic grilled lunch from Two Guys And A Grill, and awesome raffle prizes thanks to the generosity of our project partners and suppliers.

We were also grateful to have our partners from Mobile Medical Corporation on site sharing health and safety information, along with free demonstrations on CPR, AED use, First Aid, and other life-saving skills.

A special shout out to Anne Striplin, Improve I-70 KC's Project Site Assistant, for all of her hard work coordinating the event, managing logistics, and putting together an amazing day for the team!
