SMA (STONE MATRIX ASPHALT) COLFAX AVENUE VIADUCT

The Colfax viaduct project was Colorado's second SMA (stone matrix asphalt) project but their first attempt to use it on a bridge deck. The first project was located on SH 119, west of Longmont and successfully demonstrated design, production and placement of the European SMA. The Colfax viaduct project was unique from the project placed on SH 119 in that it was constructed on a bridge deck requiring a different paving technique. This project successfully demonstrated the placement of the European SMA on a bridge deck. This report documents the construction of the Colfax viaduct project.
