Villages of Weston and Rothschild Win Award from Asphalt Industry
The Wisconsin Asphalt Pavement Association (WAPA) awarded the Village of Weston and the Village of Rothschild with the 2024 Local Asphalt Award, for their work to advance innovation in asphalt pavements. Both municipalities were recognized at a ceremony on December 3rd during WAPA’s 65th Annual Conference in Wisconsin Dells.
The Villages of Weston and Rothschild were already planning a joint project to build a new roundabout when a local WAPA member described the benefits of long-life pavements. Working closely with the project’s engineer, the villages modified their design plans to produce a pavement that will last longer and require only minimal maintenance for the foreseeable future.
“These municipalities are prime examples of how collaboration and innovation can benefit everyone,” said Deb Schwerman, WAPA Executive Director. “Because of their forward thinking, they will be able to maintain this long-life pavement for years to come with minimal impacts to the daily users.”
Michael Wodalski, Public Works Director, accepted the award for the Village of Weston.
