The Perpetual Pavement Award has been awarded to 108 pavements across the U.S. and Canada since its inception in 2001.
To qualify for the award, an asphalt pavement owned by a state DOT or local agency must be at least 35 years old and have a “proven high-quality structural design” that has not had a significant structural failure and has gone no less than 13 years on average between resurfacing. The pavement also must demonstrate “excellence in design, quality in construction and value to taxpayers.”
