The LANE Construction Corporation Revenue and Competitors

The Lane Construction Corporation is a privately held company founded in 1890 by railroad engineer John S. Lane. After leaving his position with the New York-New Haven & Hartford Railroad, where he had worked for 23 years, he leased land in Meriden, Connecticut and opened his first stone crushing plant. With the invention of the automobile and the need for improved roads, Lane became a pioneer in the development of macadamized pavements, which launched the company into the 20th century as the leading builder of roads throughout the Northeast. The company was incorporated in the state of Connecticut in 1902 and still maintains its headquarters in Meriden, the original site of the first stone quarry operation of its founder. Today, Lane completes more than $550 million of work each year in more than 20 states. The company is ranked among the top 100 contractors in the nation by ENR (Engineering News Record) and consistently ranks among the top 10 contractors specializing in transportation projects.
