Microsurfacing

This study gathers information on the use of highway microsurfacing treatments by transportation agencies in the United States and Canada. Microsurfacing is a polymer-modified asphalt emulsion cold-mix surface treatment that can remedy a broad range of problems on today's highways. The report identifies and discusses practices reported as effective by transportation agencies in microsurfacing project selection, design, contracting, equipment, construction, and performance measures. Information used in this study was acquired through a review of the literature, a survey distributed to maintenance engineers at all U.S. state departments of transportation (DOTs) and Canadian provincial transportation agencies, evaluation of all 50 state DOT microsurfacing specifications as well as the one used by the U.S. Federal Lands Highway Division, and case studies of six microsurfacing projects from five U.S. states and one Canadian province.
