American Concrete Pavement Association Hosts Inaugural Concrete Pavement Week

en.Wedoany.com Reported - The American Concrete Pavement Association (ACPA) has designated June 28 to July 4 as the inaugural Concrete Pavement Week, a timeframe that aligns with a significant milestone in U.S. infrastructure: on June 29, 1956, then-President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed the Federal-Aid Highway Act.

ACPA notes that concrete pavements offer advantages in service life, life-cycle cost, durability, and low maintenance requirements, providing communities with long-lasting, sustainable, and high-performance roads. Concrete Pavement Week aims to inform transportation stakeholders and the public about ongoing investments in infrastructure and to promote the practical benefits of concrete pavements.

Laura O'Neill Kaumo, ACPA's Executive Director, stated that concrete pavements exemplify best practices in infrastructure investment, combining strength, safety, and sustainability. The week's activities will showcase industry leadership, pavement design innovations, and the value of concrete roads in community development. She added that while the national association is leading the initiative for Concrete Pavement Week, ACPA chapters and affiliated state associations are key to its success. They can apply for official proclamations from local governments, conduct coordinated promotions via social media, and organize engagement events between the industry and the public. Concrete Pavement Week is also a time to recognize the contributions of public works agencies, state highway agencies, material suppliers, equipment manufacturers, cement producers, and researchers in advancing rigid pavement practices.
