Using three pavement recycling processes together on a single rehabilitation project on the U.S. interstate system had never been done -- until Virginia did it in 2011. VDOT employed full-depth reclamation, cold central-plant recycling and cold in-place recycling to rebuild a 3.7-mile, two-lane section of southbound Interstate 81 near Staunton. The agency reduced its estimated construction time by two-thirds and saved millions of dollars by using the three pavement recycling methods to reconstruct this part of the interstate.
