The Engineering and Public Works Roadshow Celebrates Infrastructure Week

As we celebrate Infrastructure Week 2025, ACEC is excited to share the latest on the Engineering and Public Works Roadshow—a nationwide initiative spotlighting the critical role engineers and public works professionals play in building and maintaining America’s infrastructure.

At each stop around the country, we’re partnering with local firms, public works departments, and elected officials to highlight infrastructure projects that improve safety, drive economic growth, and enhance quality of life.

The Roadshow is a joint project between:

• American Council of Engineering Companies (ACEC)
• American Public Works Association (APWA)
• American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)

These events showcase how federal infrastructure investments are making a real impact back home. They also provide valuable opportunities for media engagement, community connection, and bipartisan support for infrastructure progress.
