About the Conference Auburn’s Civil Engineering Department and the Program Committee have designed the Fifty-Eighth Annual Transportation Conference for federal and state highway personnel, road building contractors, general contractors, heavy construction contractors, utility contractors, county engineers, consulting engineers, construction material vendors, researchers, professional society representa-tives, and university faculty members. It provides an opportunity for these individuals to share innovative advances in transportation planning, engineering design, and construction. The conference presents technical presentations to provide a forum for the exchange of ideas within the highway engineering and construction professions. The sponsorship of the annual conference is indicative of the broad cross section of interest in the programs of this one and a half day continuing education event.
