In his current position, Junco is responsible for ensuring the company’s operations are aligned with the firm’s financial, safety and environmental objectives.

The Lane Construction Corp. began modestly in 1890 as a crushed stone supplier for railroads and continued to grow as it added road construction to its core business in the early 1900s. Over a century later, Lane is a premier highway contractor, ranked by ENR as No. 3 in the country and one of the largest producers of hot mix asphalt in the United States. Since the 2016 merger with global construction leader Salini Impregilo Group, The Lane Construction Corp. is a wholly owned subsidiary of Salini Impregilo U.S. Holdings Inc.
Also at the Moles Members Dinner, the Ralph Atwater Moles Service Award was presented to long-time Moles member Tony Mazzo, President of Urban Foundation/Engineering LLC of East Elmhurst, New York. The award, recently established, recognizes a Moles member’s outstanding support of Moles programs, many of which are dedicated to encouraging today’s students to seek careers after graduation in the heavy construction industry. The Moles accomplish that through its education outreach including numerous construction site tours and scholarships for engineering students to which Mazzo has supported, dedicating much of his time and talents over the years.
