Webinar Overview:

Learn how Los Angeles County combined milling, Cold In-place Recycled (CIR) asphalt and micro surfacing on Vasquez Canyon Road, which crosses the San Andreas Fault Line, to repair and extend the life of the road. By combining these pavement preservation processes, they were able to complete this project within their tight budget. You will see firsthand how applying these preservation methods and budgeting processes can be used to provide a positive outcome for all stakeholders.
