History Way back in 1880, when G.G. (George) Clarkson founded the grading contractor that grew into Clarkson Construction Company, he used the muscle of men, mules, and horses to clear and excavate home sites in the riverside boomtown of Kansas City. The pillars on which Clarkson was originally founded live on today. Strengths such as efficiency, trust, hard work, communication, and integrity make Clarkson one of the Midwest’s largest and most diversified heavy contractors. Highway Construction It would be a challenge to travel around the Kansas City Metro area and not drive across a highway built by Kansas City’s own Clarkson. They self-perform nearly all of the services required to successfully build, maintain, repair or expand the local, state and national roadways. Highway construction projects include Johnson County Gateway Project, the Grandview Triangle, and I-435/I-70/US-40.

Bond Bridge over the Missouri River and the I-35/SW Trafficway bridge near downtown Kansas City - Clarkson has constructed some of the most critical pathways in the Kansas City region.
