Throw Back Thursday |

The first use of asphalt pavement in the United States was in the late 1860s. The need for a tough landing surface for U.S. aircraft during World War II brought about further improvements to asphalt technology, allowing it to withstand heavier loads and the punishment of landing large airplanes. The post-war construction boom found this improved pavement being used in incredible volume all across the country. In 1956 Congress passed the State Highway
Act, stimulating modern road construction from coast
to coast. The rest, as they say, is history.
