The 2023 Arkansas Concrete Pavement Conference held in Hot Springs, AR this past week was a huge success with over 130 transportation professionals in attendance. ARDOT Director, Lorie Tudor, opened the session with a thorough presentation on ARDOT activities both present and future. FHWA Division Administator Vivien Hoang and ACPA President and CEO Laura O’Neill Kkaumo rounded out the morning giving overviews of their respective operations before the technical sessions kicked into gear. The weather was hot but the air conditioning was cold and the food was good.
