Big progress is happening underground in Cleveland. McNally Tunneling Corp., a Kiewit subsidiary, is nearing completion on the Shoreline Storage Tunnel Project, recently placing the lid on the 61-foot-diameter, 120-foot-deep main shaft. The team has also begun installing the hydraulic cylinders and gates that will control water flow once the system is online. Stretching 14,000 feet, this is the Northeast Ohio Regional Sewer District’s first large-diameter, soft-ground tunnel. It will capture and store combined sewer overflows along the Lake Erie shoreline, supporting cleaner waterways for local communities.

Moving a 560,000-pound turbine isn’t easy — especially when it crosses an ocean to get here. Crews on Omaha Public Power District's Turtle Creek Station expansion recently received a Siemens F-Class dual-fuel combustion turbine shipped from Berlin. Roughly the weight of a fully loaded Boeing 787 and about the size of a school bus, the turbine narrowly missed two hurricanes during its transatlantic journey before arriving in Omaha by rail. From there, it was transferred to a heavy-haul truck and trailer nearly half the length of a football field, escorted by local law enforcement for the final five-mile-per-hour stretch to the site. We appreciate the collaboration among OPPD and public agencies who helped make this complex move a success. This is the first of four new turbines and part of 15 major equipment deliveries for the Turtle Creek Station expansion and the nearby Cass County Station project, both of which Kiewit is proud to be constructing for OPPD. Once complete, Turtle Creek will add 225 megawatts of new generation capacity, helping ensure reliable, responsive energy for eastern Nebraska. Target completion is set for the end of 2028. 📸 OPPD

5.5 miles of new track 8 new stations A park-and-ride lot And now — two ENR Awards of Merit for Airport/Transit and Safety Congratulations to our client and the entire South Central and Downtown Hub Light Rail Extension Project team for being recognized by ENR Mountain States & Southwest with Awards of Merit in Airport/Transit and Safety. Delivered within the programmed budget and one year ahead of the grant schedule, the extension introduced a two-line rail system that intersects at a new downtown Phoenix transit hub — creating a vital link for riders transferring between the A Line and B Line. Safety was at the forefront from start to finish. As construction manager, our team recorded 2.5 million work hours over 1,250 days with zero recordable incidents. Together with our partners, we also launched a targeted workforce development program to address skilled labor shortages, welcoming more than 1,900 new hires who worked over 3.8 million hours on the project. Thank you to everyone whose commitment to quality, safety and efficiency helped deliver this important transportation extension for the Phoenix community.

This Thanksgiving, we’re thankful for the people who make what we do possible — our teams, partners and clients across North America. Together, we’ve built projects that strengthen communities, drive progress and make a lasting impact. We’re proud of all we’ve accomplished this year and grateful for everyone who helped make it happen. From all of us across Kiewit and our subsidiaries, happy Thanksgiving! 🦃

Our team on the Southeast Connector project is keeping progress moving day and night — safely and efficiently. Night operations like this take careful coordination and commitment from every craft and staff professional on site. Thank you to the crews who make it happen and keep our projects moving forward after dark. This complex transportation infrastructure project will rebuild and widen 14 miles of interstate and improve surrounding roadways to ease congestion across the Fort Worth area.

The North Runway Modernization Program at Vancouver International Airport is a full-circle moment for our team. Kiewit first built the original North Runway in 1996 — and nearly three decades later, some of those same employees returned to help modernize it once again. Working through challenging conditions, tight timelines and overnight shifts, the team successfully delivered a new 10,000-foot runway surface and lighting system, all within eight-hour operational windows while the airport remained fully active. Congratulations to our client, our Vancouver project team and all partners involved. Your coordination, collaboration and commitment made this milestone possible while honoring the historical land we worked on. 📸 YVR

Our crews wrapped up another productive construction season high in the Rockies. Working with the Colorado Department of Transportation, the I-70 West Vail Pass Project team logged more than 90,000 work hours this year, improving safety, mobility and wildlife connectivity along one of Colorado’s busiest mountain corridors. Project Manager Ryan Konen shares what the team focused on this season as work continues to improve this vital stretch of I-70.

⚡Kiewit is ranked #2 in Power for ENR’s 2025 Top 400 Contractors Sourcebook. This recognition reflects the incredible people behind every project, helping to power reliable, resilient energy across North America. Thank you to our people, clients and partners for making it possible.

With Thanksgiving around the corner, we’re grateful to be surrounded by so many people who share our commitment to building what matters.   This month’s newsletter celebrates the stories that define Kiewit — preserving history at Pearl Harbor, advancing innovation in nuclear energy, inspiring future engineers and strengthening partnerships across North America.   These moments are more than milestones. They’re proof that when we work together with purpose, we help build stronger communities and a brighter future for our industry.
