Back at it in Saline County, MO! 📍

Our crews have been making progress on the County Road 211 (Lemon Trail) Bridge Replacement Project over I-70. This 218-ft. bridge deck required nearly 500 cubic yards of concrete - with all aggregates proudly sourced from our Capital Aggregates quarries in Sedalia and Blackwater. 🚧

Shoutout to our teammates for making great strides on this project. Stay tuned for more updates!

Construction is underway on the County Road 211 and County Road 225 Bridge Replacement Project, which began in March. This important project will replace the bridges over Interstate 70 at Lemon Trail (County Road 211) and Nitrogen Avenue (County Road 225). 🚧

Last week, our team completed a girder setting on Lemon Trail, providing a valuable learning opportunity for our Capital Academy students. They got a firsthand look at our crews in action and experienced a day in the life within this division of our operations.

We’re proud to support their growth and excited to help them gain deeper insight into the work we do every day! 👊

The CapitalTezak team, in partnership with Wilson & Company, Inc., Engineers and Architects, is proud to announce that we have been honored with Colorado Department of Transportation’s 2024 Best Environmental Project Award for the Region 2 Bridge Bundle Design-Build Project! 👏

This award recognizes projects and teams that demonstrate exceptional environmental stewardship and sustainability in transportation initiatives. 🚧

“By using innovative contracting, and building true partnerships, this project team exemplified environmental stewardship while also saving money and time to implement this large project. Innovations lead to a reduction in environmental impacts and better mitigation in many key resource areas including endangered species, visual, access impacts, wetlands, and water quality specifically. It greatly reduced construction timelines and saved a substantial amount of budget.”

We’re incredibly proud of our team and this collaborative effort, which delivered the project safely - six months ahead of schedule. By fostering innovative design, effective coordination, and dynamic teamwork, we successfully upgraded structures along three critical highway corridors. These improvements support rural connectivity, enhance freight movement, and strengthen infrastructure vital to Colorado’s agricultural communities. 👊

As National Construction Safety Week comes to a close and the hotter months approach, it’s critical to recognize the dangers of heat-related illnesses and how to prevent them.

Did you know that construction workers and miners account for nearly 𝗼𝗻𝗲-𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗿𝗱 of all heat-related worker deaths? This alarming statistic highlights why heat safety awareness is so important. When the body can’t cool itself, it redirects blood away from vital organs - potentially causing permanent damage or even death if not addressed quickly.

Dean Burns, Construction Safety Manager in our Denver, CO office, shares these key tips:
💧 Hydrate: Drink a cup of water every 15–20 minutes. Sports drinks containing balanced electrolytes help during long, sweaty days. Skip the alcohol and caffeine - they dehydrate you.
🧊 Cool down: Take breaks in the shade or AC. Wear light, breathable gear when possible.
🚨 Know the signs: Heat Exhaustion: Dizziness, cramps, nausea, sweating. Heat Stroke: Red, dry skin, confusion, fainting - call 911 immediately!
📱 Use the app: Download the free OSHA-NIOSH Heat Safety Tool to track risk levels and get first-aid tips.
👀 Look out for each other: A teammate with heat stroke may not realize it’s happening. Step in fast.

Let’s remember that safety is a shared responsibility - protecting our teammates, staying alert, and never cutting corners.

As National Construction Safety Week continues, it’s a great reminder to keep safety at the forefront of everything we do. It is no secret that our industry is inherently dangerous and full of high-risk situations, which is why staying alert, applying what we’ve learned, and looking out for one another is critical. Safety isn’t just a checklist - it’s a shared responsibility. 🦺

Brittany Morehead, Safety Manager for Capital Aggregates, shares her perspective:
“As we approach the busy season it’s important to remember that safety is a choice that you make. You choose to put on your hard hat, wear your safety glasses, perform lockout tagout, complete your workplace examination, etc. Incidents are the result of the choices you ignore. Remember to focus on the basics, think about your why, and if you see something, have the courage to speak up and say something.”

Let’s carry this message with us every day - not just this week!
