## Article

Last year's N.Y.S. Highway & Public Works Expo broke two records, drawing an all-time high in both exhibitor participation and attendance, with more than 1,500 representatives from highway departments, public works agencies, DOTs and road maintenance contractors.

Exhibitors showcased a wide variety of roadbuilding, earthmoving and maintenance equipment, and this year's Expo should prove to be no exception. Here are some highlights from last year's show.

This year's show will be held on Oct. 28, 2026, at the New York State Fairgrounds in Syracuse.
