In April 2007, C.C.
Myers was recognized among the "Top
25 Newsmakers of the Year" by McGraw-Hill
Construction's ENR (Engineering News-Record). ENR's profile noted that Myers' highway and
bridge building company, C.C. Myers, Inc., has "established a reputation
as the ultimate quick-fix bridge repairer." In 2007, two projects drew the attention of
ENR: the company's fast re-building of Oakland's
MacArthur Maze interchange as well as the Labor Day weekend replacement of a
section of the Bay
Bridge. Both projects were completed ahead of schedule
and in partnership with the State of California.
In accepting the award at a luncheon in New York, Myers said, "I'm very
thankful for the people who work for my organization. I've got the kind of people with the attitude
to go out and get it done and see how fast we can do it for the people of the
State of California."
ENR described Myers as "a bridge
maestro, known for his bluntness and fairness as well as his penchant for
getting jobs done fast." He is among the few contractors who have
ever received this award.
