The sale, which is expected to close in the second quarter of 2026, will allow Arcosa to focus on its core construction materials and engineered structures businesses.

Why it matters

The divestiture of the barge business will simplify Arcosa's portfolio and allow the company to concentrate on its higher-margin, higher-growth segments that are better aligned with long-term infrastructure and power market trends in the U.S. The sale proceeds will also be used to invest in expansion of Arcosa's core businesses and reduce outstanding debt.
