Summary:
This report describes the construction of experimental asphalt-rubber and polymer-asphalt open-graded friction course
overlays on Interstate 5 in Vancouver, Washington.  A 1200-foot section of conventional open-graded pavement was
included as a control section.  Evaluations will be conducted over a period of three years to measure the performance of
the rubber and polymer sections against the control section of conventional open-graded pavement.
Initial observations and tests show no significant differences between the control and the asphalt-rubber and polymer
sections.
