The Asphalt Pavement Alliance developed the prestigious Perpetual Pavement Awards to recognizes long-life asphalt pavements across the United States and honor projects that demonstrate outstanding design, construction, and long-term performance.
Many pavement owners recognize the benefits of converting existing roadways into Perpetual Pavements. The Asphalt Pavement Alliance (APA) accepts nominations for asphalt pavements that have been converted to meet the principles of Perpetual Pavement design. Nominations are reviewed and approved by the National Center for Asphalt Technology (NCAT). Qualifying projects receive the Perpetual Pavement Award: By Conversion.
Award Winners
The APA's Perpetual Pavement Award: By Conversion program recognizes asphalt pavements constructed over existing roadways that meet the principles of Perpetual Pavement design. Since the award's inception in 2020, 29 projects across 12 states have earned this distinction. In 2025, 4 projects received the Perpetual Pavement Award: By Conversion.
Winning agencies are recognized by their state asphalt pavement association and presented with an engraved crystal obelisk in honor of their achievement.
