Construction Appreciation Week runs October 5–11. At Hi-Way Paving, we're marking it by talking about the work, and the people doing it.
2026 has been a full year. Across our jobsites in Aiken, Charlotte and Nashville crews have been running multiple projects at once, standing up new crews, bringing new capabilities in-house, and hitting hard deadlines in conditions that can sometimes be unforgiving.
In Charlotte, crews have been deep in a multi-project runway program: complex, concurrent work that's pushed the team and the equipment. In Aiken, a lean crew stayed ahead of schedule from start to finish. In Nashville, a fourth paving crew started up this year, new skills came in-house for the first time, and the team navigated mid-project design changes without missing an opening date.
New work came in across all three regions, including Hi-Way's first highway project in several years which is a return to a discipline that's part of our roots.
But the story of 2026 isn't just what got built. It's who built it.
More than 130 team members hit their one-year milestone with Hi-Way this year. Team members expanded certifications, crossed into new disciplines, took on new equipment, and stepped into leadership roles on the crew. One of our own went back to the college he graduated from to recruit the next generation into the trade, because that's how this industry grows, and that's what Hi-Way people do.
We've been building America's infrastructure since 1969. The work looks different than it did then, but the pride our people take in doing it right hasn't changed. To every Hi-Way team member in the field and behind the scenes, this week is yours.
We Build America.
