APA Announces New Site AsphaltRoads.org
Asphalt is one of the indispensable materials of life in America. Want proof? Think about the fact that 94 percent of the paved roads in America are surfaced with asphalt.

Challenges in public funding, an emphasis on sustainable growth and livability, and employment trends, all give us good reasons to use asphalt.
