The First National Road Congress, organized directly by the National Road Directorate, was held in the city of Buenos Aires in 1922. Subsequently, from 1929 to 1940, three more congresses were held under the same organizational modality.

Several international and local developments resulted in the discontinuation of these congresses, but they did not undermine the determination of the people involved in the organization, who, after overcoming the shortcomings, resumed the congresses.

So, in the 3rd Annual General Meeting of the Federal Road Board it was decided to encourage the scheduling of a new edition. As a result of this impulse, between November 5th and 13th, 1964, the 5th Congress of Road Administration was held in the City of Embalse de Río Tercero, Córdoba, and the name “Argentine Congress of Road Administration and Traffic” was then coined.

Simultaneously, the Standing Committee was set up to organize these congresses, chaired by the President of the Federal Road Board, agency responsible for its co-organization ever since. From there on, 13 new editions of these congresses were held, as well as three pre-congresses.

Each edition had a bigger turnout, with a growing number of national and foreign professionals and technicians attending the event. The last Congress, held in the city of Buenos Aires in 2022, brought together more than 1,500 attendees from more than 14 countries and featured a program in which more than 100 technical papers were discussed and debated - selected from among the more than 180 received.

We must also highlight the success achieved by the 10th Expovial Argentina 2022, a road exhibition with a broad presence of companies and entities both national and foreign and the exhibition of road machinery.

Without any doubt, in its latest editions this Congress has acquired an international character, exceeding the geographical limits of our country. This has been demonstrated by its great attendance, which has had the participation of international representatives from the five continents.
