Join the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) as well as state, local, and national partners as we celebrate Infrastructure Week 2026 from May 18 – 22!
Why Infrastructure Week 2026 Matters
Infrastructure Week provides an opportunity to recognize the impact and importance of infrastructure to the nation’s quality of life, economy, and security. Activities and events are scheduled to showcase how investment, collaboration, and policy are aligning to rebuild and strengthen U.S. infrastructure.
ASCE Toolkit Supports Local Engagement
ASCE has developed a toolkit providing ASCE members and related infrastructure stakeholders with key guidance on options for engagement activities throughout the week. Options listed in the guide include in-person events, social media communications, and government proclamations. For example, aligned with recent state report card releases, several ASCE sections are planning virtual events and coordinating proclamations with governor and mayoral offices.
Washington, DC Events Spotlight National Priorities
In Washington DC, several Infrastructure Week events are scheduled – check out details from United for Infrastructure here. ASCE will be supporting UFI’s signature event on May 19 at Business Roundtable. Transportation, energy, and water will be highlighted during plenary sessions; breakout discussions will provide stakeholder perspectives across permitting, workforce, and finance. ASCE will be co-leading the latter sessions on workforce and finance.
Mobile Event Highlights Airport Infrastructure Investment
ASCE will also be in Mobile, Alabama on May 21st to highlight work being done on its new airport. A co-hosted event with the American Public Works Association (APWA) and American Council of Engineering Companies (ACEC), state and local elected officials and leaders will be present to provide remarks and describe the value of the upgraded airport to Mobile and the greater South Alabama region. For more information, check out the ASCE-APWA-ACEC Engineering and Public Works Roadshow here.
