The National Asphalt Pavement Association (NAPA) announced that Cadillac Asphalt LLC won eight Quality in Construction Awards for excellence in construction of asphalt pavement for projects in 2024. NAPA stated that the results of these projects produced smooth, high-quality asphalt roads, most of which included reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) into the project mixes.
Brady Meldrem, 2024 NAPA Chair said, “The asphalt pavement industry is committed to building high-quality projects that deliver superior performance to the traveling public. All contractors’ projects earning
a Quality in Construction award are measured against best practices designed to live up to that
commitment. Earning the Quality in Construction Award demonstrates that Cadillac Asphalt LLC, a CRH
Co., has met or exceeded these rigorous standards.”

concrete pavement repairs, then placed a 1.5-inch asphalt overlay on the road. Crews also installed
guardrails and added pavement markings and incorporated RAP into the project mixes.
Stewart Road in Monroe County, MI. Cadillac crews cold milled the joints at either end of the two-mile
project before placing a 1.5-inch asphalt overlay on it, and incorporated RAP in the mix. Crews maintained
one lane of traffic at all times while producing a smooth, high-quality pavement.
