The future is calling. Let’s build it together. Save the date for #ASCE2027: The Infrastructure and Engineering Experience + learn more at experience.asce.org.

Our history is your history! Join us Nov. 5 to commemorate #ASCEDay and celebrate 174 years of our shared journey: asce.org/asce-day.

The 1570-mile Alaska Highway was completed #OTD in 1942. It was the largest undertaking for a northern construction project at the time and provided new insight into cold region engineering. Learn more: go.asce.org/4fj88FM. #VisitASCELandmarks

Design changes are a major driver of cost overruns and delays in infrastructure projects, but understanding how those changes ripple through complex systems has long been a challenge. A recent study introduces a data-driven framework that maps how modifications propagate across interdependent structural components using geometric differences between initial and final design models: go.asce.org/3UJ74qd. @ASCEPublishing

Many design agreements contain provisions intended to limit the circumstances in which compensation can be withheld. Do those provisions prevent the design-builder from asserting its own delay damages? A recent federal district court decision offers guidance: go.asce.org/4yKB9nj.

122 years ago, New York City's first subway ride departed from a station unlike any other. Known as the "jewel in the crown," City Hall station was designed as the showpiece of the subway system, featuring elegant brass chandeliers, leaded skylights, and vaulted ceilings adorned with colorful tilework. Built on a tight curve that made extending the platform difficult, the station closed in 1945 as growing ridership demanded longer trains and nearby stations attracted more passengers. When New York City's first subway ride departed City Hall station #OnThisDay in 1904, the system consisted of a single 9-mile line with 28 stations. Today, it features 800 miles of track and 472 stations. Learn more about the first major rapid transit subway system in the United States: go.asce.org/4zTDEE. #VisitASCELandmarks

Public transit is emerging as a new frontier for artificial intelligence, according to a recent report from @APTA_info. A survey of 32 transit agencies found they are exploring AI applications ranging from maintenance operations to ticketing and customer service. Learn more: go.asce.org/4ztC2lv.

Forest fires have devastated municipalities from California to Colorado, often severely impacting local drinking water systems. Tune in Thursday, Oct. 29, at 2 p.m. ET for a free webinar by @PVCPipeAssoc to learn how wildfires impact water infrastructure from two world-renowned experts. Register now: go.asce.org/3WGWoZD.

Designing truly inclusive infrastructure starts by listening to the people who will use it. As engineers, architects, and designers develop an accessible playground at Kansas City’s Roy Blunt Luminary Park, they’re drawing on lived experience to help shape a novel public space featuring adaptive play elements, interconnected ramps, and accessible surfaces. Get a sneak peek at the project on the #ASCESource: go.asce.org/4BtK4fx.

Why is it so important to advocate for infrastructure investment? Just ask the #ASCE members who have seen its impact firsthand… Create your own success story during @ASCEGovRel’s 2027 Legislative Fly-In! Join hundreds of civil engineers on Capitol Hill April 14-16 to meet with elected officials, advance priorities that strengthen our communities, and gain valuable insight on the issues shaping the profession. Learn more and apply today—applications close Nov. 20: go.asce.org/4zFjQVA.

SpeedCore systems are helping accelerate construction, and new research sheds light on a critical component: bolted splice connections. Learn how innovative design methods can help engineers predict performance and optimize C-PSW/CF wall installations in the #ASCELibrary: go.asce.org/4eEF1yP. @ASCEPublishing

Are you as ethical as you think you are? Find out on #GlobalEthicsDay. Review an #ASCE document with real-life case studies to help track and develop the professional ethics needed to navigate a civil engineering career: go.asce.org/4B8hKis.

We believe civil engineers, public agencies, industry leaders, and communities should all have a seat at the table as decisions about AI infrastructure are made. ASCE’s new AI Roadmap for Application in Civil Engineering (AI RACE) provides a framework for how to responsibly adopt AI across the infrastructure lifecycle while maintaining accountability, professional judgement, and public trust. Learn more and download the roadmap to explore all 11 pillars, implementation horizons, and governance recommendations: go.asce.org/4z1BHGk.
