Go Pave Utah helped the Festival of Trees celebrate 55 years of holiday giving with their beautifully decorated tree: Christmas Under Construction. From festive elves dressed in orange and yellow safety jackets to the toy truck and traffic cone tree topper, every detail was planned perfectly. Proceeds from the sale of the tree will help make a meaningful difference for children and their families at Primary Children’s Hospital.

Engage with industry leaders, explore the latest technologies and network with contractors, engineers, agency personnel, field professionals and suppliers during this two-day event focused on learning, connection and growth.

On Dec. 17, 2025, the Utah Asphalt Pavement Association and Utah Department of Transportation collaborated to host a special technical webinar on Utah’s Highly Modified (Hi-Mod) asphalt mix. Featuring experts from UDOT, industry producers, suppliers and contractors, the session provided a comprehensive look at Hi-Mod design, performance, construction, hauling, milling and field results, followed by an informative Q&A session.

The Utah Asphalt Pavement Association (UAPA) was recently awarded two grants from the Utah Labor Commission to support its 2026 workplace safety programs. These funds will further enhance safety across Utah’s asphalt paving sector and expand valuable safety resources for UAPA members.

UDOT is committed to fostering collaboration and professional development within our industry through strategic partnerships. The UAPA HMA inspection course is a key component of the department’s new Construction Training Program (CTP) initiative. Completion of this course will be a mandatory requirement for all UDOT and consultant inspectors. By implementing this requirement, we anticipate a significant enhancement in knowledge and consistency across all asphalt paving and construction inspection processes.
