This workshop is an exchange of technology and new developments in the asphalt pavement industry. The event was a great opportunity for networking, viewing new products, obtaining information and gaining insights into the upcoming construction season.

Topics presented included: 2017 legislative session; Minnesota Department of Transportation updates on specifications, state aid and research, safety in the work place, material uniformity, life cycle cost, thinlay, performance testing and intelligent compaction/infrared thermal bar and more.
