HIGHWAY REHABILITATION BY RESURFACING

OLD AND BUMPY PAVEMENTS, BOTH ASPHALT AND CONCRETE, CAN IN MANY INSTANCES BE REHABILITATED TO SERVE PRESENT TRAFFIC NEEDS BY MEANS OF A ONE-LAYER, TWO-LAYER, OR MULTIPLE-LAYER RESURFACING OF ASPHALT CONCRETE. IN THE CASE OF ASPHALT PAVEMENTS, SOME CITY STREETS HAVE BEEN REHABILITATED WITH A ONE-LAYER RESURFACING OF AN AVERAGE THICKNESS OF AS LITTLE AS 3/4 INCH. EVEN BROKEN AND ROCKING CONCRETE PAVEMENTS HAVE BEEN SUCCESSFULLY AND ECONOMICALLY REHABILITATED BY MEANS OF A TWO-LAYER RESURFACING OF AN AVERAGE THICKNESS OF 2 1/4 INCHES. /AUTHOR/
