The American Concrete Pavement Association (ACPA) named recipients of its 29th Annual “Excellence in Concrete Pavements” awards at the 55th ACPA Annual Meeting held in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, USA in November. The Awards recognize quality concrete pavements constructed in the United States and Canada. The program encourages high-quality workmanship, quality, and creativity in concrete pavement projects, and serves as a way to share information about challenging and highly successful projects.
This year, the award-winning projects were paved by 22 different contractors. Projects are located in 13 states or regions represented by ACPA-affiliated Chapters and State paving associations. Winners were determined by 40 professionals who devoted their time and expertise to serve as judges.

The ACPA Excellence in Concrete Pavements Awards are made possible, in large measure, because of the generous time commitment of independent judges from across the country. The judges each spend many hours reviewing executive summaries, project details, photographs, and other details and aspects of project submittals. ACPA presents awards in both gold and silver levels. Judging is based on a point system, with independent judges awarding points for quality construction, addressing unique and unusual challenges, innovation, traffic management, and other criteria. In the case of ties, award judges present awards to co-winners.
For publications looking for case histories throughout the year, ACPA encourages concrete pavement companies, organizations and associations to consider these award-winning projects!
