Northern Interstate Construction, Inc. (NIC) was founded in 1985 and incorporated in the state of Wisconsin in 1986, by brothers Bruce and Bill Johnson. Bruce and Bill gained experience by working for their father, Wayne Johnson, an owner of DL Johnson Construction in the 1970's and 1980's. The brothers founded NIC to continue the family's tradition of construction after DL Johnson Construction was purchased by RJS Construction Group, LLC. in the 1980's. NIC began to grow in the late 80's by taking on DOT projects in northern Wisconsin. The company specialized in bridge demolition and road work as a "closed shop" corporation. After 35 years, NIC has continued to grow and is in its second generation of ownership with Bruce's son, Blake Johnson, and Bill's Son, Justin Johnson, as owners. The company is now signatory to the Operating Engineers (Locals 139 and 49), the Teamsters (Local 346), and the Laborers (Local 1091) in both Building Trades, Non-metallic Mining, and Highway & Heavy divisions. NIC is licensed, bonded, and insured for demolition, utility, and earthwork in both Wisconsin and Minnesota. NIC is a certified ISNetWorld Member Contractor. Historically, NIC has specialized in mid-size to large private site work projects as well as DOT projects. However, over the past decade we have transitioned into a broader variety of services including industrial maintenance, utility work, railway work, pipe rehabilitation, hydro-excavation, pipe jetting/cleaning, material supply, access roads, ROW clearing, contract mining, truck brokerage, and more.  Our company operates a growing fleet of over 60 pieces of heavy equipment. NIC has one office/yard location in South Range, WI, owns a sand pit in Foxboro, WI, and operates a quarry in South Range, WI.
