Minnesota to Host Asphalt Road Show on Aug. 20

The Minnesota Asphalt Pavement Association (MAPA), the Federal Highway Administration, LHB, Inc. and the Asphalt Pavement Alliance are sponsoring a one-day Asphalt Road Show in Brooklyn Park, Minn. on August 20, 2008. The theme of the Asphalt Road Show is “The Sustainable Pavement.” Asphalt is the sustainable material for constructing pavements. From the production of the paving material, to the placement of the pavement on the road, to rehabilitation, through recycling, asphalt pavements minimize impact on the environment.

Speakers at the Asphalt Road Show will talk about in-place recycling/rubblization, RAP, life cost analysis, warm mix asphalt, stormwater management with HMA, and other related topics in this day-long event that begins at 8:00 a.m. View the program schedule here. The Asphalt Road Show will be of interest to agency officials, consultants, contractors, researchers, and specifiers. A total of 6.0 professional development hours (PDH’s) are available for attending the program.

The registration deadline is August 13, 2008. To register, complete the registration brochure and fax it to (651) 636-4790. For further information, please contact MAPA at (651) 636-4666 or email info@mnapa.org . Visit the MAPA web site at www.asphaltisbest.com .
