(Washington, DC – January 19, 2026) The Great American Road Trip, a national storytelling initiative celebrating the people, places, and innovations that define the United States, today announced CRH as an official sponsor for the 2026 journey leading into America’s 250th birthday. CRH, a leading provider of building materials critical to modernizing infrastructure, will support The Great American Road Trip’s multi-platform celebration of travel, exploration, and the American spirit.
CRH’s sponsorship will bring added depth to The Great American Road Trip’s narrative by showcasing the critical link between America’s physical infrastructure and the travel experiences that connect people and places. Throughout 2026, The Great American Road Trip will spotlight how roads, bridges, and public spaces, many built with CRH materials and solutions, enable discovery, community engagement, and economic prosperity across the country. The partnership reflects both organizations’ commitment to celebrating innovation that supports resilient, vibrant, and sustainable communities.
“As we approach the 250th anniversary of the United States, what better way to honor our great nation than to highlight the many amazing landmarks that we share”, said Nathan Creech, President of CRH Americas. “It is an incredible privilege to partner with The Great American Road Trip on such an important initiative, and we look forward to celebrating our country’s most iconic roads, bridges and landmarks”.
“I’m thrilled to welcome CRH as a partner in this national celebration. The ability for Americans to travel, explore, and connect with one another is only possible because of the infrastructure that supports our daily lives. CRH’s work helps make these journeys safe, accessible, and memorable for millions of Americans each year. As we approach the nation’s 250th birthday, this partnership underscores the importance of the roads and bridges that unite us, and the shared experiences that define our country,” said Tori Barnes, Executive Director, The Great American Road Trip.
CRH’s involvement underscores the growing coalition of partners supporting the nation’s semiquincentennial celebration by amplifying the story of America’s built environment while inspiring millions to explore their country. As a sponsor, CRH reinforces the idea that travel isn’t just about the destinations people visit; it’s also about the roads, bridges, and shared spaces that make those journeys possible.
