INDIANAPOLIS, IN — Highway engineers, inspectors, contractors, and suppliers recently gathered in Indianapolis for the 2020 Indiana Concrete Pavement Workshop and annual awards presentation. Speakers from the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT), the Federal Highway Administration, and the concrete paving industry provided insights on the Indiana Transportation Team initiative toward better processes and communication. The technical session addressed optimized concrete mixes, innovation in testing, pavement restoration, and the use of thin concrete overlays as a preservation treatment for appropriate segments of state and local road networks.

The awards recognized work at Grissom Air Reserve Base, I-74, I-70, I-865, Ryan Road in Allen County, Eastside Parkway in Gas City, Kessler Boulevard, and 38th Street in Indianapolis. U.S. 40 in Richmond and SR 37 in Lawrence County were recognized as well.
