Description
Northbound Sandy Parkway at the intersection with 90th Street was chosen as a good location for Sandy City’s first trial of FORTA-FI® reinforced asphalt. This segment experiences a very high level of traffic as well as increased distress from braking and turning vehicles. After a 2” mill, a 2.5” FORTA-FI® reinforced overlay was placed using PG 64-35 ¾” mix. The use of fiber reinforcement will help delay the onset of reflective cracking and reduce future maintenance requirements on this section of road.
Key Points
- Extended Pavement Life
- Reduced Rutting & Raveling
- Reduced Cracking
