The National Asphalt Pavement Association (NAPA) announced that Michigan 
Paving & Materials Co., a CRH Company, won a 2024 Quality in Construction Award for excellence in 
construction of an asphalt pavement. The company is being recognized during the association’s 70th 
Annual Meeting.

MPM won the award for its work on 24.58 miles of I-69 in Eaton and Calhoun 
Counties, Michigan. The project included pavement reconstruction, bridge reconstruction, patching, 
drainage, signage and barrier repair. The company divided the project into phases to increase safety and 
stay on schedule. Despite challenges that included crews working all hours of the day and paving at 
night, Michigan Paving & Materials Co. produced smooth, high-quality pavements for area motorists.

“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,” said 2024 NAPA Chair Brady 
Meldrem. “Earning the Quality in Construction Award demonstrates that Michigan Paving & Materials Co., 
a CRH Company, has met or exceeded these rigorous standards.”
