Road crews in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, are repaving a section of road using recycled asphalt pavement (RAP) from the same section of road they are replacing. According to an article in the Winston-Salem Journal, crews removed 2 inches of pavement from a 1-mile section of Reynolda Road resulting in 27,000 square yards of asphalt being removed from the road.
The old asphalt pavement was taken to the Thompson-Arthur Division of APAC-Atlantic Inc.’s Winston-Salem facility, where it was ground down, recycled and turned into new asphalt pavement.
According to the report, a 12-employee APAC crew is using 4,500 tons of asphalt to resurface the road. The $285,000 repaving project was expected to be complete in mid-June.
APAC also has 15 to 20 tons of grinded asphalt pavement stored in large piles at its Winston-Salem site which was removed from other roads projects in Winston-Salem, the article states.
