On May 29, APAI Executive Vice President Mike Kvach joined NAPA Vice President of Government Affairs Nile Elam, CRH Midwest Regional Vice President Dan Hubbard, Operations Manager Jonathan Nalevanko, and the Des Moines Asphalt Paving team in welcoming Congressman Zach Nunn for a tour of DSM Asphalt’s Johnston plant.

During the visit, the group discussed the importance of the timely passage of the BUILD America 250 Act, a multi-year surface transportation authorization bill that would provide Iowa with the long-term funding needed to support the construction, improvement, and maintenance of critical roadway infrastructure across the state.

The tour provided an opportunity to highlight the vital role Iowa’s asphalt industry plays in building and maintaining safe, reliable transportation networks while emphasizing the importance of sustained federal investment in infrastructure.

🚧🖤 HAPPY ASPHALT DAY! 🖤🚧

Today we’re celebrating the material that keeps Iowa moving forward — ASPHALT! From the roads we drive every day to the highways connecting our communities, asphalt plays a huge role in building safer, smoother, and stronger transportation systems across our state.

But Asphalt Day is really about the PEOPLE behind it all:
👷‍♂️ Crews in the field
🚜 Equipment operators
📋 Engineers & technicians
🦺 Safety professionals
🏗️ Contractors & producers
…and everyone working hard to pave the way for the future!

Did you know?
➡️ 94% of U.S. roads are paved with asphalt
➡️ Asphalt is one of the most recycled materials in America
➡️ Smooth roads help improve safety, fuel efficiency, and ride quality

Today, APAI proudly celebrates the innovation, dedication, and hard work of Iowa’s asphalt industry. THANK YOU for helping keep Iowa connected. 👏

APAI’s EVP, Mike Kvach was happy to join LL Pelling in hosting University of Iowa Professor Dr. David Lee and 40 of his engineering students on a tour of LL Pelling’s Coralville Plant. Among the students were several Industry Scholarship Recipients. Lots of great questions were asked and we’re hoping to see at least several of these students someday working in our industry. A huge THANK YOU to Brett Finnegan, LL Pelling President, Dalton Leeman, Plant Superintendent, and Taylor Maxfield, Lab Superintendent. These guys are passionate about what they do!
