Clarkson Projects Recognized at 2025 AGC of Missouri Construction Awards Gala
November 18, 2025

We're proud to share that Clarkson earned major recognition at the recent DBIA-MAR (Mid-America Region) 25th Anniversary Awards Luncheon, an annual celebration of excellence in design-build delivery and the impact these projects bring to communities across our region.
- Excellence Award | Civil Infrastructure
- De Soto Local Road Improvements Project
- This project delivered critical infrastructure upgrades in support of regional growth, community connectivity, and future development in De Soto
- Project of the Year
- John J. "Buck" O'Neil Memorial Bridge
- Built by the Massman-Clarkson Joint Venture, this transformative structure is reshaping travel across the Missouri River and stands as a testament to what strong collaboration and innovation can achieve.
These awards reflect the dedication, expertise, and teamwork of the many Clarkson employees who contributed to both projects. From early planning to final delivery, ever team member — in the field and in the office — played a role in bringing these multi-award-winning efforts to life.
Congratulations to our project teams, and thank you for your continued commitment to excellence in design-build construction!
