Posted By: JCrane - 2026/04/30
In accordance with WVDOH Specification Section 109.10, WVDOH has released the Fuel, Asphalt, and Cement price adjustment indices effective May 1, 2026, as shown below.
As the Iran conflict continues, the Asphalt index sees another significant increase, although far less than anticipated. The May asphalt index has been set at $675/ton, an increase of 9.2% over April. While Asphalt had a sharp increase Fuel saw a small decrease (3.2%), bringing May’s index to $3.9767/gallon. Cement also saw a slight decrease (1.8%) for May, $290.29/ton.
With the traffic through the Strait of Hormuz still effectively closed or severely restricted at a minimum, crude oil prices are expected to continue to rise. According to AXIOS yesterday, President Trump said a US Naval blockade of Iran will continue until a deal addressing nuclear concerns is made. Following this announcement crude prices rose significantly, with the West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil futures rising roughly 7% (https://www.barchart.com/story/news/1598020/crude-prices-surge-with-no-end-in-sight-to-us-iran-war).

Olivia fell into the asphalt industry while still in college, and got a summer internship working in a quality control lab. She says, “I loved this job so much I immediately joined the Shelly Company full time after I graduated in 2019. During my time there I worked in construction scheduling and mainly estimating. I was fortunate to work with many crews and be exposed to many parts of the company that gave me appreciation for the industry as a whole.”
