This expansion strengthens the firm’s ability to deliver high-impact transportation projects in the region.
“Kansas City has long been on our radar as an area for strategic growth. We are proud to serve many railroad owners with headquarters in the city and have an established relationship with the Missouri Department of Transportation. With the recent addition of Alan Bloomquist to our team, and his regional expertise, the pieces fit together for us to officially expand into Kansas City,” said Modjeski and Masters CEO Mike Britt, PE. “This new location allows us to strengthen our commitment to BNSF and CPKC and continue to be a valuable resource for our transportation partners in the Midwest.”
Leading the expansion is Project Manager Alan Bloomquist, PE. Bloomquist holds professional engineering licenses in eight states and British Columbia.
