The American Public Works Association (APWA) kicked off National Public Works Week on Tuesday, May 19, with its “Low and Slow Across America’s Infrastructure Tour” launch at the Washington, D.C., Public Works Fleet Campus.

The “Low and Slow Across America’s Infrastructure Tour" features best-selling author, Dan McNichol, Ph.D., who will be driving a 1949 Hudson Commodore 8, as a metaphor of the aged condition of infrastructure from Washington, D.C., to Los Angeles to assess the condition of infrastructure projects, visit with public works departments, and find some solutions along the way.

Tour updates are available on the APWA website, along with an itinerary. If you are involved in an infrastructure project or public works department along the route and are interested in meeting the team, contact Aileen Cho at aileen.cho@construction.com or Tudor Van Hampton at tudor.vanhampton@construction.com for details.

APWA sponsors National Public Works Week annually with the more than 28,500 members in the U.S. and Canada, who observe the week to energize and educate the public, government leaders, media, companies and other stakeholders about the importance of public works in our daily lives.
