A semiring $(S,+,\cdot )$ is called additively orthodox semiring if its additive reduct $(S,+)$ is a orthodox semigroup. In this paper, by introducing some special semiring transversals as the tools, the constructions of additively orthodox semirings with a skew-ring transversal or with a generalized Clifford semiring transversal are established. Meanwhile, it is shown that an additively orthodox semiring with a generalized Clifford semiring transversal is a b-lattice of additively orthodox semirings with skew-ring transversals. Consequently, the corresponding results of Clifford semirings and generalized Clifford semirings in reference (M. K. Sen, S. K. Maity, K. P. Shum, Clifford semirings and generalized Clifford semirings, Taiwan. J. Math., 9 (2005), 433–444) and completely regular semirings in reference (S. K. Maity, M. K. Sen, K. P. Shum, On completely regular semirings, Bull. Cal. Math. Soc., 98 (2006), 319–328) are extended and strengthened.
