With respect to technological advances having a significant effect on the paving industry, Superpave is one of today’s most widely recognized processes for producing high quality, long lasting asphalt roads that can stand up to the rigors of high-volume, high-speed, and heavy traffic, even despite the type of harsh weather conditions experienced in our region.
. . . . Used extensively throughout Illinois and nationwide, Superpave has helped make Illinois roads safer and more durable, and has helped to reduce construction delays by maintaining roadway integrity longer.
