Tis affects every part of what we do, from safety to project management to staffing projects. It is really important we try to do something about it, so I’m truly excited about our upcoming rollout.” (Stay tuned for

manager/general contractor for the project. Its estimated $482 million cost reportedly makes it the largest bridge project in the city’s history. The project is a replacement of the existing viaduct that was originally built in 1932. The new

Skanska as well. “Tey have been 100 percent supportive and really encouraged me to do this, which is a huge help,” he commented. On a final note, Di Padova said he


hopes he will serve as an example that leadership is accessible and achievable for all levels of industry professionals who are willing to devote their energy and positive voices to help shape the future of the association and the industry. “I don’t think I’m the youngest


person to become president of AGC of California, but I’m probably on the younger side,” Di Padova added. “Hopefully it demonstrates to the younger people coming into our association, and to our mid-level management members, that (AGC’s top leadership) is not just an exclusive club that you can’t get into. It takes being devoted and active, and partici- pating and working hard to make a difference. I truly look forward to the year ahead.” 
