"Thinlay" Asphalt




Penn DOT District 3-0 is testing pavement preservation treatments. A four mile stretch of SR 220 in Jersey Shore, Pennsylvania was broken into three sections. The southbound lane received a microsurfacing treatment and the northbound lane was divided into two- two mile sections. Each section received a one inch thinlay using PG76-22 with one of the sections incorporating FORTA-FI® fibers. The intentions of the project is to see an improved strength and longer lasting pavement using FORTA-FI® within the asphalt pavement mix. Penn State University will be monitoring the conditions of the test sections for the next three years.
