Our team is continuously looking for ways to drive innovation that will push the industry towards more sustainable solutions!

Recently, we have been collaborating with the Missouri Department of Transportation on improvements to Interstate 70. These collaboration efforts kick off tonight as we begin a 2,000+ ton test section with a mix design involving Engineered Crumb Rubber.

Although our team is eager to see the industry move in this direction, we understand that it is necessary to take a “walk before we run” approach, involving extensive collaboration with the state and additional key players. We are excited to see where these small efforts will take our industry and are committed to doing what it takes to get there!

Shoutout to the crews that have been working nights to complete the improvements (milling, paving, asphalt plants, and hauling), and to MoDOT & our Quality Control team for driving innovation.
What an exciting time for our industry!👊🏼

We couldn't be more proud of our Project Accountant/Contract Administrator, Shelly Sanders, for being featured in the National Asphalt Pavement Association's Asphalt Pavement magazine! 👊🏽

"The value of being in the industry for 26+ years is not only being a proud female in this industry, but also comfort in knowing that she is making a small contribution to building safer highways for her grandchildren. Shelly hopes to encourage other females to become part of this industry."

Thank you, Women of Asphalt, for leading and inspiring women in this industry.
Thank you, Shelly, for always making us proud, and encouraging women to begin a career in this exciting and ever-evolving industry!
We are lucky to have you in the Capital family!

Last week, we had the opportunity to celebrate #NationalInternDay with a few of our outstanding summer interns!

The day was designed to give the group a chance to connect with others in our company and learn more about our vertically integrated team. They heard from past interns who have transitioned into full-time teammates, connected with leaders of our company, networked with one another, and toured a few of our operations.

We are grateful to have had the opportunity to get to know a talented and engaged group and can’t wait to see how they continue to grow in this industry! #CapitalTeams ... See MoreSee Less
