Lifetime friendships of co-workers, and subconsultants and suppliers. Top management at RLW promotes a team environment and encourages input from all levels of staff and employees. This approach results in a dedicated and hardworking workforce that will pitch in to see a project completed successfully and on time.The lengthy tenure of many of key employees is not only a tribute to the company, but benefits the project owner when a seasoned team is building their project.

Quality is checked throughout the project, but more importantly, quality is a way of doing business from the bottom up.

Traffic cones and work zones can be frustrating. They slow things down, change traffic patterns, and sometimes add a few minutes to your drive. But for the people working behind those cones, they’re much more than an inconvenience: they’re protection.

August is National Traffic Awareness Month and we’re asking drivers to help keep our crews safe:
🚧 Slow down
🚧 Merge safely
🚧 Follow posted signs

At RLW, we’re proud to build and improve the infrastructure that keeps our communities moving. Your patience and awareness help us keep the people building it safe.

Slow down. Stay alert. Travel safe.

15 girder sections. 5 girder lines. Up to 102,000 pounds per pick. This is what a girder set looks like on I-84.

Working directly over an active Union Pacific Railroad line, our crew had to coordinate every lift around track curfews, railroad flagging, and specialized steel protection panels, all while managing multiple large cranes working in tandem. A project three years in the making, and the girder set is just one chapter. 🏗️

Not every bridge replacement looks like this one. Situated directly over the Yellowstone River inside one of the most protected national parks in the country, our team had to account for everything before construction even started: environmental constraints, remote access, and narrow park roads. Concrete was batched on site, temporary bridges were built just to reach the piers, and when the crew packed up, every access road was restored to its original contours, leaving the area exactly how it was found. 🏔️

If you've driven on I-25 in Colorado recently, you've probably seen some of our work in progress! 🚧
Our team is proud to be helping improve one of Colorado's busiest transportation corridors as part of the North I-25 Express Lanes project. This major infrastructure improvement will add new Express Lanes, reconstruct bridges and interchanges, widen shoulders, and enhance safety and traffic flow between Mead and Berthoud. Once complete, drivers will enjoy a safer, more reliable commute with improved mobility along this critical stretch of highway.
We're proud to be building infrastructure that keeps Colorado moving today and for what's next.
