THE CONSTRUCTION OF DURBAN'S SOUTHERN FREEWAY

This paper is an account of a freeway constructed under difficult conditions. A deep strength asphalt design was adopted since the method of construction offered many advantages for design engineer and contractor alike and has been used extensively both in Europe and in the U.S.A. Details are given of the pavement and asphalt mix designs, the methods used for quality control at the plant and in the field, and the construction techniques employed. /IRRD/
