Infrastructure Week 2026
May 18-22, 2026
The Infrastructure Investment & Jobs Act (IIJA) expires in September 2026, and UFI will closely monitor the evolving legislative calendar for reauthorization. We are keeping our foot on the gas to push for robust, long-term federal infrastructure investment that keeps the nation moving forward - and looking ahead to Infrastructure Week 2026.
Infrastructure-focused organizations and advocates across the country are encouraged to get involved. Plan an Infrastructure Week event in your community. Highlight infrastructure projects that are improving safety, economic development, and quality of life in your community. Call your federal representatives to talk about the critical role of federal funding in state and local infrastructure projects.
Join us for the 14th Annual Infrastructure Week on May 18-22, 2026!
