Our team is currently working on a bridge replacement project in North Carolina that presents a unique challenge: protecting wildlife. In collaboration with the North Carolina Department of Transportation, we’re replacing five bridges along a 13-mile stretch of I-40 in Pigeon River Gorge. These bridges are being updated due to structural concerns and to meet current safety standards. So far, three bridges have been completed, with the two remaining bridges over Pigeon River and Fines Creek Road scheduled for completion by October 2026. A key aspect of this project is ensuring the safety of local wildlife, including black bears, deer and elk. To address the recent increase in animal-vehicle collisions, the new bridges will feature widened shoulders for safer travel and maintenance, as well as wildlife fencing and pass-throughs to facilitate safer animal movement. Given the remote location of the project, we’ve had to be strategic in our planning to overcome logistical challenges, such as transporting equipment to the site. This has involved constructing access roads and a temporary bridge. We’ve also partnered with numerous local contractors and craft workers to support the project. Kiewit is the Construction Manager/General Contractor.

Primergy Solar and Quinbrook Infrastructure Partners' Gemini Solar + Storage Project, the largest DC-coupled solar + battery installation in North America, has reached commercial operation. This historic solar and storage project outside of Las Vegas sits on less than 5,000 acres and consists of more than 1.8 million solar panels, providing 690 MWac during the day and 1,400 MWh of stored electricity. The power generated at the site will power the grid and reduce pollution and emissions in the area. Gemini is capable of producing enough clean energy to power approximately 10 percent of Nevada’s peak demand. Kiewit is the EPC contractor for this project, which also includes the construction of an overhead collection system, a collector substation yard, and generation tie line to Nevada Energy’s Crystal Substation.

We are thrilled to announce the Klamath River is now free flowing once again. This comes after the removal of the cofferdam at Iron Gate Dam. Removing the last of the four dams opens up 400 miles of river to salmon migration. This monumental achievement would not have been possible without our project team and client, the leadership of the Tribes across the Klamath Basin, and other organizations and agencies who have played a role in reaching this milestone. Now that the river is back in its channel, crews will begin removing diversion infrastructure at these sites, and another contractor will work on restoring over 8,000 acres of reservoir area. 📸 Yurok Tribe

Happy birthday to the late Peter Kiewit, the man who shaped our organization into what it is today. "Our company would not be where it is today if we had been content with mediocre results. We have continually tried to excel in order to accomplish our objectives of becoming the best contracting organization on Earth." - Peter Kiewit, 1976

We’re proud to celebrate our team’s incredible work on the Omaha RiverFront Revitalization Project, which has earned the 2024 ENR Midwest Best Project Award for Landscape/Urban Development! 🏆 Spanning 72 acres, the project includes: 🏞️ Three parks 🌳 Over 150,000 plants and trees ⛸️ Space for rollerblading and ice skating in the winter 🚶 Pedestrian overlook and ten miles of pedestrian walkways and paths — and that’s just the beginning. As the construction manager on the project, Kiewit removed and rebuilt Heartland of America Park, Lewis and Clark Landing and the Gene Leahy Mall. These parks now offer beautiful spaces for all to enjoy, and we’re honored to have played a role in this transformation. Learn more about this award-winning project: https://bit.ly/3TmneSo

As you drive along Vail Pass, you’ll likely notice a significant addition to the mountainside – a massive new retaining wall. This is a crucial component of the ongoing I-70 West Vail Project in Colorado, designed to enhance safety and hold back landslides. The idea for the wall was developed back in the 1970s but couldn’t be completed during initial construction because of technology limitations. With advancements in mountain infrastructure, the new wall, which is 40 feet tall and 1,100 feet long, allows for a wider and safer interstate curve. The wall’s construction includes using soil nail, shotcrete and colored concrete sprayed on a wire netting. Attached to 30-to-50-foot nails is the wire netting and it’s drilled into the side of the hill. There are also 29 new drains to limit water in the soils, which can be a cause for landslides. This is just one piece of the I-70 West Vail Project. Crews are currently working on the eastbound bridge reconstruction near Mile Point 185. Construction will continue through 2026.

Here are some cool shots of the foundation work our team is doing on the Union Station Enhancement Project in Toronto. Some of the work in these photos includes our crews executing a critical lift operation at Union Station — placing a 19-metre reinforced rebar into one of the secant wall king piles adjacent to live tracks and public roadways — and a critical tieback operation to stabilize secant walls. This project will transform Greater Toronto's transportation network by providing two new train platforms, a new passenger concourse, reconstructing existing platforms to permit higher speeds and pedestrian walkways and adding more stairs and elevators.
