This summer, Kiewit returned to the Washington Peninsula to continue work on WSDOT's Coastal 29 Project, helping restore critical fish habitats. 🌊🐟 Our crews and subcontractors successfully restored 10 stream crossings across two project sites — Forks, WA (yes, that Forks! If you know, you know) and Ocean Shores, WA — over seven months. These efforts included seven precast box culverts ranging from 19’ to 50’ wide, and the first-ever pre-stressed, post-tensioned box culvert installed in Washington state. We also completed two slab girder bridges (40’ and 56’ long) and a 42’-wide aluminum arch culvert. Between Coastal 29 and other contracts, Kiewit is on track to remove 75 more fish passage barriers in Washington, supporting long-term environmental sustainability. Kiewit is proud to be part of these impactful projects, helping restore our natural environment, one crossing at a time.

In the 1970s, Kiewit played a key role in constructing the iconic Eisenhower-Johnson Memorial Tunnel, a transformative project improving travel on Interstate 70 at Loveland Pass, Colorado. We were awarded the contract for the eastbound tunnel bore, named the Edwin C. Johnson Memorial Bore. Spanning nearly 9,000 feet long and located at an elevation of 11,000 feet, the tunnel was a feat of engineering. Using a 12-drill jumbo and conventional drill-and-shoot methods, our team worked through hard rock to complete the eastbound bore, finishing in 1979. With the completion of the Eisenhower-Johnson Memorial Tunnel, drivers could now enjoy two lanes of traffic in each direction.

At Kiewit, honoring commitments means more than meeting deadlines — it’s about delivering innovative solutions and creating lasting impact. In the latest issue of Kieways, learn how we secured a vital water source for over a million Denver-area residents, expanded Omaha’s iconic Joslyn Art Museum, completed the largest dam removal in the Western Hemisphere ahead of schedule, and made mental health the new standard in safety. This is what commitment looks like: tackling challenges, delivering solutions and making a difference — every time. 📖 Don’t miss the final Kieways of the year: https://bit.ly/3VKJxlS Read the digital articles here: https://bit.ly/48DJb4F

The Marine Parkway Gil Hodges Memorial Bridge Project (MP-09) in New York City is earning widespread industry recognition with several prestigious awards. Originally opened in 1937, this 540-ft-long vertical-lift bridge connects visitors to Jamaica Bay in New York. Our team provided design-build services for essential upgrades, including replacing two tower elevator systems and rehabilitating moveable bridge components, such as the span locks, to enhance reliability. Before these improvements, maintenance teams faced climbing several open-air ladders 120 feet above traffic — often with heavy tools — to perform regular maintenance. Today, the newly installed elevators are designed to endure various weather conditions to ensure safety and efficiency. This project’s success has been celebrated with several awards including: 🏆 The Associated General Contractors of America (AGC) - New York Excellence in Partnering Award 🏆 The 2024 Design-Build Institute of America (DBIA) National Award of Merit for Rehabilitation, Renovation and/or Restoration 🏆 ENR-New York’s 2024 Best Project in the Highway/Bridge category / ENR National 2024 Best of the Best in the Highway/Bridge category finalist (one of twenty projects will be named Project of the Year in March) 🏆 The American Council of Engineering Companies (ACEC) New York Platinum Award of Excellence in the Transportation category “The MP-09 project was truly a challenging and remarkable one! The project was technically challenging on all fronts, and the design-build team did an excellent job overcoming these challenges and delivering a successful product. These awards are a true testament that hard work and great collaboration will pay off in the long run.” – Sean Gayle, MP-09 Project Manager Congratulations to the team for their outstanding work in enhancing the safety and functionality of this historic structure!

269 feet and counting! In just seven months, our team has completed the first 269 feet of new dam at the Gross Reservoir, marking major progress on this monumental project. This isn’t your average construction job. Starting back in May, crews began adding concrete steps to thicken and widen the structure in order to raise the dam to its new height. The concrete is roller-compacted and made right on-site using rock from the reservoir. From there, a conveyor system transports it down a chute to waiting trucks, which deliver it to the dam. Bulldozers and rollers take it from there, spreading and smoothing the concrete into place. Work on the dam will also change its engineering design to a new “arch dam.” Arch-style dams use their curved design to distribute the water's pressure into the surrounding rock walls, with the force of the water itself reinforcing the dam’s strength. In the spring, our team will resume adding concrete steps to raise the height, working toward the dam’s final height of 471 feet—nearly tripling the reservoir’s storage capacity, which supplies 1.5 million people in the Denver area with water. 💧 Work on the entire project is expected to be completed in 2027. Concrete proof of a job well done—great work to everyone involved!
