Compacting the Surface
Hot in Place Recycling of the road surface along Highway 16 from Fort Fraser Overhead to Engen Road has recently been completed. Approximately 24 kms of surface were milled, recycled and replaced. Hot-in-place recycling reuses the existing asphalt pavement and greatly reduces the amount of additional aggregates required, thereby conserving natural resources. This segment of Highway 16 is in the middle of the worst hit Pine Beetle epidemic area and has significant rutting and cracking from logging equipment being used in the area.
