56th Annual Conference

The 56^th Annual Maryland Asphalt Association Paving Conference was a day of celebration for the asphalt industry in Maryland. This year’s conference hosted more than 375 attendees from both industry and State Highway Administration. Safety was a predominant theme throughout the event with presentations of Work Zone Safety/ Intrusion Prevention, Heads-Up by Marshall Klinefelter, SHA Initiatives and Safety Innovations from Chief Engineer Tim Smith, and Workplace Violence & Personal Awareness by the Baltimore County Police Department. Dr. Chuck Schwartz updated the audience on the research being conducted by U of M and industry experts prepared the audience for a great paving season. The day peaked with the “Excellence in Paving” awards for projects completed in 2017.
