Engineering Landmarks: Meet Matt Kleymann, Complex Bridge Lead at Mark Thomas
From iconic design to community impact, Matt Kleymann leads complex bridge projects that do more than connect roads, they connect people, places, and purpose.
Meet Matt Kleymann, our Complex Bridge Lead at Mark Thomas. With a passion for technically challenging design and a commitment to community impact, Matt has spent his career turning ambitious concepts into iconic infrastructure.
A 2006 graduate of the University of Nebraska with a degree in Civil Engineering, Matt has worked on signature bridges across the U.S. and around the world. However, one project in particular stands out from the rest: the IHT/Bollinger Canyon Road Pedestrian Overcrossing in San Ramon, CA. As both Project Manager and Engineer of Record, Matt led the design of this striking cable-stayed bridge. “It was technically challenging and fun,” he says, “but the most rewarding part was the collaboration between the City, CCTA, contractor, design team, and construction management (CM) team all coming together to make it happen. The project perfectly exemplifies why I became a bridge engineer: it will improve traffic flow, promote active transportation, and create a beautiful landmark the City can be proud of.”
For Matt, bridges are more than just structures, they’re catalysts for connection. “Bridges literally connect people and communities and make their everyday life easier, giving them more time to do the things they enjoy. But what I find particularly interesting about complex, signature bridges is that they often become destinations in themselves. They become part of the community in a much more meaningful way than just providing a simple connection.”
