The next Saturday Superintendent Talk for the Lance Corporal Leon Deraps Bridge project near Rocheport, Missouri will be held this Saturday, August 17th at 9:00am on the Katy Trail, approximately 1.5 miles down the trail from the Rocheport trailhead. The public is invited to attend and learn directly from the project team about the progress being made on the bridge. With the new bridge construction going on in the background, each talk highlights a segment of work currently taking place and why that work is necessary to the project, and includes a question-and-answer session! This is a unique opportunity to listen to and ask questions of some of the key people involved in the project. See you Saturday! #roadtorocheport #infrastructure #bridgeconstruction #bridges #construction #lundaconstruction #lunda 

Of course Lunda is known for their award-winning and iconic major river crossing projects, but we're in the business of connecting on a smaller scale, too. The Bridges of Mower County project involved the replacement of four rural bridges on I-90 through Austin, Minnesota: the Dobbins Creek Bridge, the Business Loop Flyover Bridge, and the eastbound and westbound bridges at Turtle Creek. Work also included grading, concrete and bituminous pavement, utilities, and hydraulics. Additionally, as a design-build project, the scope included bridge design, structure design, hydraulic, and roadway design. Project challenges included complex traffic control and staging on high-speed, high-volume roadways; construction in and near environmentally sensitive areas; and challenging subsurface conditions. The project also required collaboration and cooperation with multiple local stakeholders. For properties adjacent to the construction activities, the team coordinated with businesses and residents, conducting pre-condition surveys and vibration monitoring services. Three of the structures were located over impaired waters and Lunda developed and implemented an extensive environmental management plan during construction activities. An environmental team was assigned, with key individuals responsible for stopping work if necessary, and every individual on the project was charged with the responsibility to alert the team and project management of any environmental concerns. This proved critical when an unforeseen scour hole below an old culvert outfall (undiscoverable during design or initial construction) caused the failure of an aggregate retaining structure. Lunda issued a stop work order and worked with MnDOT, the DNR, and the engineer, to develop and implement a solution, keeping the project on schedule and budget. They might not have their own movie (yet) but we think the Bridges of Mower County are worthy of a #FlashbackFriday post! #fbf #bridgeconstruction #infrastructure #bridges #transportation #construction #lundaconstruction #lunda

Location, location, location. There's a lot to be said for property with a view of the water. But our mini city on the banks of the Missouri River is learning there is such a thing as too much of a good thing. Excessive rainfall has challenged the crews on the I-70 Rocheport Bridge project in recent weeks, but fortunately the high water has receded enough that they've been able to start work again. Let's check in with MoDOT project director Mike Schupp and see how it's going. #roadtorocheport #infrastructure #bridgeconstruction #bridges #construction #lundaconstruction #lunda 

Lunda believes in building more than civil infrastructure; we believe in building the builders of the future. And that means more than teaching them how to build, it means providing them with the opportunities, training and resources to have a successful career in a dynamic and growing industry. For this reason, we enjoy partnering with organizations like WRTP | BIG STEP, whose hands-on pre-employment training certificate programs, and individualized tutoring for apprenticeship programs, provide better access and resources for underserved and underrepresented populations. Lunda team members Tracey Jackson and Daniel Kowalski recently visited WRTP | BIG STEP's Milwaukee campus to meet with students to talk about Lunda and discuss the many career opportunities that exist in civil construction. We're proud to be a part of WRTP | BIG STEP's mission to help job-seekers qualify for family-sustaining jobs. And we're dedicated to supporting programs that enhance the ability of public and private sector organizations to recruit, develop, and retain a more diverse, and qualified workforce. #careersinconstruction #apprenticeship #buildingfuturebuilders #lovewhatyoudo #constructionjobs #wrtpbigstep #lundaconstruction #lunda

Congratulations to our amazing Southwest METRO Green Line Extension team for achieving another milestone on this historic project! Crews recently completed Milestone 12, which involved the substantial completion of Segments 8, 10, 11, 12, and 13. Lunda/McCrossan joint venture employees and subcontractors had a cookout to celebrate. The METRO Green Line Extension (also known as the Southwest Light Rail Transit project or SWLRT) is the single largest infrastructure project ever undertaken in Minnesota. This community-building investment will be a vital resource to connect people with opportunities, providing access to jobs, education, and the social amenities the communities along the line have to offer. There have been many milestones reached and a lot of hard work accomplished on this important project. Great job, team! #swlrt #lmjv #lightrail #infrastructure #construction #connectingcommunities #lundaconstruction #lunda

Sure, time flies, but does it fly as fast as the cars on Elkhart Lake's Road America track? For #flashbackfriday we're revisiting the bridge we built for this repeat client in 2022. One of the world's fastest permanent road racing tracks, Elkhart Lake's Road America, Inc. has a need for speed, and they asked Lunda to meet a condensed schedule in order to get their celebrity bridge built. Why celebrity? Because you could see it while watching the NASCAR XFINITY Series Henry 180, and the NASCAR Cup Series KWIK TRIP 250! Lunda crews were up to the challenge, and delivered this project in just three months! #fbf #roadcourse #motorsport #bridgeconstruction #nascar #construction #racetrack #lundaconstruction #lunda

A vital part of the Lance Corporal Leon Deraps I-70 Missouri River Bridge project's public outreach is just getting together to chat! Saturday Superintendent Talks are held the third Saturday of every month and offer a chance to see and hear more about the latest work being done on the bridge - directly from the people doing it! Every Saturday Superintendent Talk highlights a segment of work currently taking place and how that part ties in to the whole project. As the crews enter the home stretch on this critical infrastructure project, there will be fewer chances remaining to participate in these fun and informative talks. Join us at 9:00am this Saturday, July 20th at the A-Frame Winegarden on The Blufftop at Rocheport! #roadtorocheport #modot #infrastructure #bridgeconstruction #bridges #connectingcommunities #construction #lundaconstruction #lunda

One of the most important responsibilities of a leading transportation contractor is being committed not just to the future of our nation's infrastructure, but to the future of our industry as a whole. For this reason, Lunda is honored to participate in training opportunities not just for our own employees, but for all the apprentices of our union partners. Recently, Lunda donated a pile hammer, vibro, and an instructor to the 2024 joint Pile Drivers and Operating Engineers combined training event in Hinckley, Minnesota. This two-week long training program included such topics as cofferdam construction, driving pile with a diesel hammer, tie-back drilling, testing, and other critical construction activities. As always, Lunda is proud to help build future builders! #buildingfuturebuilders #careersinconstruction #lovewhatyoudo #piledrivers #piledriving #operators #operatingengineers #unions #unionstrong #construction #lundaconstruction #lunda
