The Philadelphia Construction Expo will be taking a ride to Reading.

With the recent closure of the Fort Washington Expo Center, CEG Productions’ annual expo, also dubbed “The Greatest Show in Construction, Public Works & Landscaping,” will now have a new home – the Greater Reading Expo Center in Reading, Pa.

The 8th annual construction expo will be held Wednesday and Thursday, Feb. 28 and March 1, 2007, respectively. Show hours will be 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Wednesday and 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Thursday.

Located at 2525 North 12th Street in Reading, the new center will house approximately 85,000 sq. ft. of exhibit space for the Philadelphia Construction Expo. The center also has more than 4,000 on-site parking spaces conveniently located near the main entrance.

The venue may have changed, but the expo will still feature all the latest and greatest in new iron and industry services, and guests can once again to show off their backhoe operating excellence in a backhoe rodeo. A total of $5,000 in cash will be up for grabs.
