One of the inherent advantages of asphalt pavement is its smooth riding surface which has long been recognized as a major factor in evaluating quality construction. As a result, the Asphalt Paving Association of Iowa in conjunction with the Iowa Department of Transportation pay special tribute to those contractors who produce the smoothest, highest quality asphalt pavements. It is this partnering effort of industry and agency that assures the quality of Hot Mix Asphalt remains at its highest. 2006 Award winners can be seen in the APAI Photo Gallery Section.
