About the Event
Ever wonder what happens before the road gets paved?
Women Road Builders is going behind the scenes at Gallagher Asphalt for an exclusive plant tour AND tour of the Heidelberg Thornton Quarry—an opportunity to see firsthand how asphalt is produced, learn more about the operation behind the materials we rely on every day, and connect with other women across the transportation and construction industry.
Whether you work in engineering, construction, communications, planning, or another part of the industry, understanding how the work gets built makes all of us better at what we do.
Join us October 6th to get a closer look at where the road really begins!
