Perpetual Pavement, US 41

In 2008 the Asphalt Pavement Alliance honored Wisconsin DOT with the prestigious Perpetual Pavement Award 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 of the award, which recognizes roads that have served for 35 years or longer without requiring major rehabilitation and that have needed only infrequent resurfacing.

HMA inspection training from WisDOT, NCSC and WAPA

WAPA worked with WisDOT's Doak Christenson and Tom Brokaw and with North Central Superpave Center's Becky McDaniel to co-host a series of inspection training sessions for asphalt pavement project managers. Over the course of four sessions held across the state, more than 60 professionals learned critical information about asphalt plants, mix requirements, pavement construction techniques, and quality assurance and control.

Materials from the sessions are now available online:
