CONVENTIONAL OVERLAY WON'T DO FOR ILLINOIS TOLLWAY JOB

This article describes how the Illinois Highway Authority used on-site, in-place, hot surface asphalt recycling as an alternative to conventional repair methods on a major route near Chicago. This was less costly than the conventional technique. Details of the project are described and it is noted that the depth specified for the new surface was 3/4 in., a remarkably thin overlay for a roadway with an average daily count of over 18,000 vehicles (federal regulations did not permit the standard 3-in. overlay). A rejuvenating agent and a rubber-asphalt binder was specified. Uninterrupted traffic flow was maintained by the general contractor.
