Far & Widener Podcast, Episode 13: Buckley and Company's Incredible 12-Day Record-Setting Rebuild of I-95

Greg Potter interviews Robert Buckley Jr. '81, the president of Buckley and Company, the family-owned construction company that was instrumental in the nation’s record-setting rebuild of the collapsed portion of I-95 in the summer of 2023. Buckley discusses the logistics of the rebuild and the origins, culture, and philosophy of his company. Buckley credits his success to his dedicated team, some of whom have been with him since his college days, and the power of networking. He says, “Your word is your bond, and the handshake is the deal.” Buckley is an advisor for Widener’s new engineering construction management program. Buckley and Company helped to raise funds for the family of Nathan “Nate” Moody, the truck driver and father of three who tragically lost his life in the accident.
