HOW ARE ASPHALT INTERSECTIONS DOING?

Prior articles have detailed the process and key steps involved in obtaining better performance from asphalt pavement intersections. This article examines several trial efforts that have followed these intersection strategies including projects in the states of Maryland, Kentucky, and Kansas. The projects were largely successful in improving the quality of the intersections by employing various Superpave hot-mix asphalt design mixtures that yielded less rutting and cracking than other portions of the intersections that used portland concrete cement.
