Sheboygan County nets national award for using innovation to extend life of infrastructure
The 2024 James B. Sorenson Excellence in Pavement Preservation Award was presented to the county after it was nominated by Henry G. Meigs, LLC, and Asphalt Materials, Inc.
Sheboygan County was selected as the 15th recipient of the national award, joining past winners including Ohio Department of Transportation, City of Los Angeles and California Department of Transportation.
The award recognizes outstanding achievements in extending the life of infrastructure through innovation and research-driven practices.

The award nomination stated the following: 'Sheboygan County has consistently taken a proactive approach to emerging trends in preservation and demonstrates a willingness to evolve as new technologies and opportunities arise. Sheboygan County's success exemplifies leadership in transportation, making them a deserving candidate for this prestigious award. Their commitment to innovation, collaboration and education sets a high standard for other agencies.'
The county said preservation activities and improved infrastructure resilience received a significant boost from a sales tax enacted eight years ago that goes solely toward transportation.
Additionally, it said, 'Investments in cutting-edge equipment and regional partnerships have further extended the impact of these efforts.'

In 2021, the county launched the Sheboygan County Operational Pavement Preservation Evaluation, a live traffic test track to assess preservation technologies. It also participates in national initiatives like the National Road Research Alliance, focusing on safety features such as centerline rumble strips.
Innovative treatments, including void-reducing asphalt membranes and penetrating asphalt emulsions, are also used by the county to extend maintenance intervals and enhance sustainability.
