Our Archaeology and Environmental team had a great time out in the field partnering with the State Archaeologists from the Alabama Historical Commission, and representatives from Mobile County, Alabama, and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Mobile District at the newly acquired Duck Hill Site in Coden.

Field assessments like this are a critical step in supporting regional beneficial use and coastal marsh restoration projects. By working alongside our agency partners early in the process, we ensure that vital shoreline preservation efforts seamlessly align with the careful protection of our coast's unique cultural and environmental resources.

Major milestones are taking shape in West Alabama! After nine months of steady progress, paving is officially underway along Segment 7 of the 74-mile-long West Alabama Highway corridor. When completed, these critical infrastructure and roadway improvements will significantly enhance regional safety and unlock new economic opportunities for local communities

We’re proud to partner with the many organizations working together on this transformational statewide development.

Our team was thrilled to attend the City of Tuscaloosa – Government’s groundbreaking ceremony on the final phase of the Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard and Jack Warner Parkway corridor improvements. This marks the final phase of this crucial infrastructure project, which will focus on upgrading and widening the railroad bridge spans to improve vehicle traffic flow beneath the crossings.

We appreciate the opportunity to work alongside our project partners to build a safer, more connected corridor that opens up new development and growth opportunities for the people of Tuscaloosa, Alabama.

We want to give a massive congratulations to Thompson’s very own Bobby Mosely on the introduction of the (MDOT's) new statewide honor: The Bobby Moseley Award. Named in his honor, this award will now be given annually to the highest-performing, safest, and best-run MDOT facility in the state.

From his time as State Maintenance Engineer to his impactful work leading environmental compliance audits with Thompson, Bobby has dedicated his career to lifting up the transportation industry and keeping workers safe.

Thank you, Bobby, for being a true leader, a mentor, and a friend to so many.

What an incredible turnout for the 24th annual Thompson Fishing Rodeo on Dauphin Island earlier this month. Despite some choppy weather, anglers managed to land a few fish. As always, the big winner was the Thompson Foundation. The fishing rodeo raises funds for the foundation and this year netted $101,500!

Big thanks to our employees and those of our affiliated companies, as well as our clients, friends, and family, for making this year's event a success. Catch you next year!
