Contractors thrive on new business and opportunities, living for the moments when a potential project becomes reality. After completing all the hard work of estimating, preparing and presenting a bid, there’s nothing quite like getting that call from a client to say the job is yours.

Here, Construction Dive tracks the top contract wins announced by some of the country’s biggest contractors in January, including a $7 billion light rail project, a $2.3 billion rail bridge and a small modular reactor in Tennessee that could top $5 billion.
