It's National Payroll Week, and we're celebrating the team behind everyone's favorite day of the week: PAYDAY!

Behind every paycheck are Cynthia Montanez (Payroll Manager) and Laura Burciaga (Payroll Specialist) who juggle payroll for hundreds of employees, dozens of field crews, and multiple office locations across Clarkson Construction — all with plenty of precision, patience, and attention detail.

Their work may happen behind the scenes, but it makes a big impact to every member of our team. Thank you for everything you do!

The Improve I-70 Kansas City project team is in the middle of a major girder operation, setting six girders across six spans for the new westbound lanes of I-70 leading into the Benton Curve.

The girders stretch nearly 160 feet in length, with individual girders weighing in at more than 150,000 pounds. Crews are using two cranes working together to safely maneuver the massive girders within an extremely tight workspace bordered by active highway lanes, power lines, the neighboring USPS facility, and railroad tracks.

By the end of the week, 36 new girders will be set and another major piece of the new I-70 corridor will be taking shape. Great work to everyone involved in the planning, coordination, and precision it takes to safely pull off lifts like these!

Over the weekend, we welcomed Big Brothers Big Sisters Kansas City to the Improve I-70 Kansas City project for a behind-the-scenes look at careers in construction. Attendees saw bridge progress underway at the Benton Curve, watched girder installation along 18th and Indiana, and had the chance to ask our team questions along the way.

A special thanks to Kurt Cook, Bridge Superintendent (and a former Big Brother himself!), for leading Saturday's tour. With nearly three decades of experience at Clarkson, Kurt had plenty of great insight to share about the work happening on site, his career path, and advice for students interested in the industry.

After the tour, we headed back to Clarkson's Crossroads office for lunch and conversations with members of our project management, traffic management, and field supervision teams. Each shared their career path, what their role looks like day-to-day, how they contribute to our projects, and lessons they've learned along the way.

Thank you to everyone who volunteered part of their Saturday to make the experience so personal and engaging! We love opportunities like this to give students an up-close look at our industry.

This 1962 ad from The Kansas City Star said it best: "Throughout the past...and into the future...Clarkson is one of Kansas City's leaders in heavy construction!"

More than 60 years later, and now in our 6th generation of family leadership, those words still ring true. We're proud to continue building the roads, bridges, and infrastructure that keep our region connected and moving forward.

Kansas City has been our home since 1880, and we're proud to continue building its future!

Thank you, Luke, for 31 years of hard work and commitment to Clarkson, and congrats on an amazing milestone!

Yesterday, project partners and community members came together to celebrate an exciting milestone on the Improve I-70 Warrenton to Wentzville project with a special "ribbon-joining" ceremony — a fitting way to mark the reopening of a bridge that reconnects the north and south sides of Warrenton!

Work on the bridge replacement began in late March, and in just a few months, the Improve 70 Alliance team delivered a new structure that restores this important connection for residents, business, and services throughout the community.

The new bridge also features a pedestrian pathway, along with enhanced lighting, railing, and other aesthetic elements provided by the City of Warrenton.

Clarkson is proud to be part of the Improve 70 Alliance alongside Emery Sapp & Sons, Bartlett & West, and HNTB as we continue making progress along the project corridor! Congratulations to everyone who helped bring this important connection back to the Warrenton community.

There's a lot happening on I-70 between Warrenton and Wentzville!

Across the Improve I-70 Warrenton to Wentzville project corridor, crews have been busy building Type C median barrier (pictured here!), trimming base rock, placing bridge decks, widening shoulders, restriping ramps, machine paving, and more as the project continues to take shape.

And another big milestone is just around the corner: the new Route 47 bridge in Warrenton is set to open soon! The bridge will reconnect the north and south sides of the city and includes a new pedestrian pathway, along with lighting, railing, and other aesthetic enhancements.

The Missouri Department of Transportation and design-build team will celebrate the new bridge this Monday, 8/17, with a ribbon cutting ceremony!
