Construction
• Rolling and Achieving Density – Initial rolling was 2 vibratory and 1 static
– 15,000 lb roller (DD 70-HF) as breakdown
– 8,000 lb (DD 34-HF) as finish
– 13% air voids rather than 10% air void
target
– VaDOT & contractor identified 27,000 lb
roller is ideal

Findings
• Superpave 4.75mm NMAS mixture designed
with 20% RAP content and WMA production
• Large rollers recommended to achieve density
even though fine mix and higher binder content
• Aged pavements developed top-down cracking
rather than bottom-up

Findings
• Thin overlay allows 8-year-old-PLUS structure to
perform like a 3-year-old structure
– 425,000 - 500,000 passes to first crack
• While without milling-and-overlay the structure
performed significantly less
– 50,000 passes to first crack
• When the overlay was aged, the overlay
provides little benefit
