WELCOME TO WAPA
The nonprofit Wisconsin Asphalt Pavement Association represents Wisconsin’s asphalt industry. This Web site is a resource for our members (some 80 contractors and manufacturers), their customers and the public at large. Make this your first stop for information on hot mix asphalt in Wisconsin.
Perpetual Pavement Winner
The Asphalt Pavement Alliance awarded its prestigious Perpetual Pavement Award to Wisconsin DOT for the outstanding performance of U.S. Highway 41 in Oconto and Brown counties. The seven-and-a-half mile stretch of asphalt highway met the strict requirements [PDF] of the Perpetual Pavement award, which recognizes roads that have served for 35 years or longer without requiring major rehabilitation and having needed only infrequent resurfacing.

Alliance’s Perpetual Pavement Award plaque.
WisDOT was one of only 11 recipients of this award for 2007 and 50 total since APA first awarded this honor in 2002. APA’s presentation [PDF] to WisDOT at the 2008 International Warm Mix Asphalt Conference includes more details on this exemplary pavement.
Technical Bulletin on LCCA for Pavement Selection
WAPA has begun publishing a new series of Technical Bulletins. These are intended to help all those involved in specifying, designing and building Wisconsin’s asphalt pavements by giving straightforward answers to common technical questions.
The first in this series explains the underlying concepts and the principles for using life cycle cost analysis for pavement selection. Download, read and share the WAPA Technical Bulletin on LCCA for Pavement Selection [PDF].
