Constructors

Constructors Founded in 1908, Constructors is Nebraska’s oldest asphalt and concrete paving company. In 1945, 8 years after the passing of George P. Abel, Jr.

Constructors, Inc. – Nebraska’s oldest paving contracting company – is the lineal descendant of a firm originally founded in 1908 by George P. Abel, Sr., and Charles Roberts under the name Abel & Roberts Construction. Both Abel and Roberts had graduated from the University of Nebraska in 1906 with degrees in engineering. With an initial investment of $100.00, George purchased six heavy shovels, tw

o steel wheelbarrows, and one hand concrete mixer. In 1910, Abel & Roberts Construction started its first city paving job – six blocks along “O” Street from 33rd Street to Wyuka Cemetery in Lincoln, NE. In 1911, shortly after completing its second city street paving project on South Street from 11th to 27th, the company purchased its first asphalt plant. Due to an increase in business, the company split in 1915 into Abel Construction Company and Roberts Construction Company. From 1920 to 1928, Abel Construction continued city paving and had large contracts with Alliance, Ashland, Beatrice, Lincoln, Nebraska City, Norfolk, North Platte, Wayne and many other Nebraska towns. From 1931 until the start of World War II, Abel Construction completed about 25% of the highway work in the state of Nebraska. Abel, Sr., the company was incorporated by George P. Throughout the 1950s and 1960s, Abel Construction acquired many companies including Kerford Limestone Company, and continued developing Nebraska’s highways and city streets. In 1974, Abel Construction changed its corporate name to Constructors. Today, Constructors continues working in the southeastern region of Nebraska, with emphasis on heavy highway concrete and asphalt paving. To date, Constructors owns Trafcon, which handles traffic control and highway striping, Kerford Limestone Company in Weeping Water, Nebraska, a primary source for many aggregates, as well as Nebraska Ash Company and Plains Pozzolanic which supply Constructors with coal ash for concrete and soil stabilization. The managers, superintendents, foreman, and crew members of Constructors, Inc. and its predecessors have always had a reputation for quality performance and timely completion in a wide variety of projects.

It was a great day celebrating the LNK Runway 18/36 Reconstruction Project!

As work continues to gain momentum, attendees heard updates and remarks from several key Nebraska leaders, including U.S. Sen Deb Fischer, Sen Eliot Bostar, and Major General Craig Strong. Project updates were also shared by Lincoln Airport's Chad Lay and Rachel Barth, along with Constructors Project Manager Eric Anderson, who provided an overview of the progress being made on the runway.

We're always proud to work in our home city, but today we're especially proud to be back with LNK and to be part of a project that will serve Lincoln and Nebraska for years to come.

At Constructors, every successful project begins with a commitment to safety. National Safety Month is an opportunity to reinforce the habits, awareness, and accountability that help keep our employees safe on every jobsite, every day.

From project managers and operators to laborers, mechanics, and support staff, safety is a shared responsibility that requires the involvement of every team member. Through proper planning, open communication, and a commitment to looking out for one another, we continue to build a culture where safety comes first.

National Safety Month also serves as a reminder that safety extends beyond the workplace. Whether traveling to and from work, spending time outdoors with family, or focusing on physical and mental well-being, the choices we make every day have an impact on our overall safety and health.

A strong safety culture isn't built in a single month—it's built through the actions and decisions we make year-round. Thank you to all Constructors employees for your continued dedication to working safely and helping ensure everyone returns home at the end of the day.

Temporary detours. Permanent Progress. 🤩

While Project O Street brings some temporary closures and detours, our local shops and restaurants are still fully operating. Navigating the streets might take an extra minute, but supporting our neighborhood businesses is always worth it!
