Congratulations to Oklahoma Department of Transportation and Duit Construction for bringing home the Gold award in the Divided Highways – Rural Category for US 69 in Calera. Proud to see this project receive such a distinguished honor at the 61st Annual ACPA Excellence in Concrete Paving Awards in Phoenix.
The Oklahoma Transportation Commission approved the latest revision of ODOT’s Eight Year Construction Plan for Federal Fiscal Years 2025 – 2032. The plan contains over $8 billion worth of projects including ROW acquisition, utility relocation and construction. The plan addresses critically needed transportation improvement projects for Oklahoma’s interstates, US and state highways and bridges.
Congratulations to Arkansas Department of Transportation on successfully hosting the 2024 SASHTO Annual Meeting at the Convention Center in Rogers, AR. Record breaking attendance and cooperative weather helped, but the outstanding hospitality of the ArDOT staff is what really made this event a standout. Arkansas Chapter ACPA staff Brent Burwell and Tyler Lachowsky were on hand to talk concrete pavement with anyone and everyone who visited the ACPA booth. Great to see everyone there!
The 2024 Arkansas Concrete Pavement Conference held in Hot Springs, AR this past week was a huge success with over 120 transportation professionals in attendance. ARDOT Director, Lorie Tudor, opened the session thanking everyone for the exemplary work they do and emphasizing the need for safety on the roadway. Other topics ranged from implementing concrete overlays to Life Cycle Cost Analysis of a section of Interstate 40. The highlight of the program, however, was the presentation of a $10,000 check to the ‘ArDOT Fallen Workers Memorial’ fund commemorating the sacrifices of past employees in service to the traveling public. The OK/AR Chapter, ACPA would like to thank the speakers, exhibitors and sponsors for helping make this conference such a success. See you all next year!
