Constructors continued work on a bridge project located on a portion of Nebraska Highway 79 between Agnew and Valparaiso. The $2.35 million project consists of two bridges with work being completed by Constructors, and paving work being sub contracted.

One bridge is a 3-Span Prestressed concrete Girder Bridge (IT400) and the other bridge is a Simple Span Prestressed Concrete Girder Bridge (NU900). Girders are being supplied by Concrete Industries, Concrete from Ready Mixed Concrete Company, Granular Backfill is from Western Sand & Gravel and Rip Rap for the project is from Kerford Limestone. Construction for the project started in November and both bridges are scheduled to be completed in July.

A Construction Career Day was held at Southeast Community College on May 5th. The event was hosted by the Home Builders Association of Lincoln in cooperation with BuildOurNebraska.com. The event featured hands-on activities, construction demonstrations and construction career booths. The event targeted middle and high school students along with their parents. The event was designed to help students explore the possibilities of construction related jobs and to promote construction related career paths.

There were 22 companies and organizations represented at the event, including NEBCO, Constructors, and Ready Mixed Concrete whom had a truck at the event with  a hands-on display for working with concrete.  Event participants were able to explore the truck and learn about the life of Ready Mixed drivers.
