ABOUT US
Tom Sr and Debra Branson started out in 1993 as Branson Crane Service with nothing more than a small boom truck and a couple cones. They quickly developed the company into a full-size traffic control business; and Branson Traffic Control was born in 1996. Leading that industry in the four corners for many years, they decided to expand into pavement marking. After growing and operating the business for nearly 25 years and transforming into Branson Road Works, Tom Sr and Debra have retired, handing operations off to their son Tommy, who purchased the company in January 2024. With such great opportunities in the road construction industry, Tommy plans to grow the company’s footprint with their current services as well as expand into new service and supply channels.
