The National Asphalt Pavement Association (NAPA) recently announced winners for excellence in construction of an asphalt pavement.
One of the awards announced was the 2021 Sheldon G. Hayes Award, which recognizes the country’s highest quality highway pavements.
Eurovia Atlantic Coast dba, Northeast Paving Co. LLC, and the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation District 12 were named the winner of the 2021 Sheldon G. Hayes Award for their work on I-70 in Washington, Pennsylvania. Finalists for the award were Seaboard Construction Co. and the Georgia Department of Transportation for I-95 in Camden County; and Shelly & Sands Inc. and the Ohio Department of Transportation District 5 for I-70 in Muskingum County.
The Sheldon G. Hayes Award winner and finalists are determined through a two-year evaluation process. All highway pavement projects using more than 50,000 tons of asphalt are eligible for consideration. Initially, the project must win a Quality in Construction (QIC) Award, according to NAPA.
