CONCRETE PAVEMENT RECYCLING TESTED IN MICHIGAN, WISCONSIN

Several miles of rigid (concrete) pavement were recycled in separate projects completed recently by state highway departments and their contractors in Michigan and Wisconsin, reportedly achieving a dramatic reduction in need for virgin aggregate to build replacement highways of the same material. The Michigan project involved 5.7 miles of roadway and cost approximately $4.5 million with savings of about $250,000. In Wisconsin, recycled concrete was recently used in a project begun on May 1, 1983, and completed in November, which involved the reconstruction of the two westbound lanes of 13-mile stretch of roadway, which cost $5 million. Approaches and experiences on both projects are discussed in the article.
