Project Description
The city of Morgantown, WV incorporated a trial section containing FORTA-FI® in both lanes on Dorsey Avenue. The project also contains a control section with no fiber in order to accurately compare the success of the overlay with fiber. Dorsey Avenue has high truck traffi c and the goal of the project is to evaluate FORTAFI®’s ability to reduce reflective cracking under heavy traffic loads. The project is going to be closely monitored and updates will come in the future.
