The 55th Annual Maryland Asphalt Association Paving Conference was truly a special day for the asphalt industry in Maryland. This year’s conference hosted more than 350 attendees from both industry and State Highway Administration. Special guest Governor Larry Hogan presented the Governor’s Citation to commend the Association on its 55 years of industry recognition and education. The agenda included presentations by industry experts, University of Maryland College of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Maryland DOT, State and Federal Highway speakers culminating with the “Excellence in Paving” awards for projects completed in 2016.
