Hard work doesn’t always get rewarded, but four KDOT
districts received six awards for various projects at this year’s Kansas
Asphalt Paving Association’s awards program held on December 1, in Lawrence.
The 2016 KAPA Workmanship and Engineering awards consisted
of 22 awards in six categories. A total of 22 projects were nominated by
Hot-Mix Asphalt Paving Contractors for the 2016 KAPA Awards program. The judges
said that they traveled 2150 miles in four days reviewing and rating all
projects. Although they said the ratings were close, KDOT and several of its
contractors received top prizes in the following categories: The KAPA
Director’s Award, Full Depth Paving Award, and Overlay One Inch or
Greater.
The Kansas Department of Transportation’s mission is to
provide a statewide transportation system to meet the needs of Kansas. With or
without awards, KDOT crews work diligently to ensure that purpose continues to
keep Kansas moving.
