N.Y.S. Highway & Public Works Hosts 31st Annual Expo

CEG - December 2025

The New York State Fairgrounds Expo Center hosted the 31st annual N.Y.S. Highway & Public Works Expo Oct. 29, 2025, in Syracuse.

This year's event was not only the largest in the Expo's history in terms of exhibitor participation but also broke previous attendance records, drawing more than 1,500 attendees. Attendees included representatives of highway departments, public works officials, DOT personnel and road maintenance contractors from across New York State.

Exhibitors showcased a wide range of roadbuilding, earthmoving and maintenance equipment, offering everything that highway superintendents and public works commissioners could need to maintain their facilities.

According to show manager Amanda Guilfoyle, "With the overwhelming success of this year's show, exhibit space at next year's event is sure to be in short supply. For the first time since we moved from the Center of Progress Building, we had to expand our exhibit space outside into the facility's parking lot."

If you are interested in attending or exhibiting at next year's show, please contact Amanda Guilfoyle now to reserve your space. She can be reached at 518/396-7659 or via e-mail at [email protected].  CEG
