Description
WYDOT had planned a 5” mill and fill along five miles of I-80 between Laramie and Cheyenne. In the Eastbound travel lane an existing longitudinal crack ran the length of the project. FORTA-FI® was added to the lower 2.5” lift of asphalt base course to slow the propagation of this crack to the surface. In addition, the enhanced stiffness of the fiber-reinforced asphalt will provide greater resistance to fatigue, extending the life of the pavement.
Key Points
- Extended Pavement Life
- Reduced Rutting & Raveling
- Reduced Cracking
