27 Jul Infrastructure in the United States: Opportunities in 2026
The United States enters the second half of 2026 with an especially active infrastructure agenda. Following a first half marked by new contract awards, projects entering their initial phases and strong public and private investment, the U.S. market continues to establish itself as one of the most attractive destinations for Spanish Engineering Companies in the USA, involved in civil engineering, construction and specialized engineering services.
A growing infrastructure market
The outlook is positive. Transportation infrastructure construction in the United States is expected to reach a record investment of $209.1 billion in 2026, with continued growth in highways, bridges, tunnels and transportation networks. In addition, the U.S. Department of Transportation announced a $1.73 billion investment through the BUILD program to fund 127 projects focused on improving highways, bridges, public transit, railways, ports and aviation.
For Spanish companies, this represents a significant opportunity. Their experience in large international projects, complex civil works, transportation and project management allows them to compete in a demanding market where planning, coordination, cost control, safety, quality and engineering expertise are essential to successfully deliver US Infrastructure Projects.
The value of Spanish technical talent
In this environment, Spanish engineering talent is becoming increasingly valuable. Highly qualified professionals play a key role in meeting deadlines, strengthening project execution and responding to the requirements of clients, public authorities and major contractors throughout every stage of the project lifecycle, from planning and construction to commissioning, operation and maintenance of major infrastructure assets.
