It verified the feasibility of using BSTs to maintain pavements with higher traffic levels than have been applied in the past. Results also suggested that alternating the application of BST resurfacings and 45-mm hot-mix asphalt overlays is an effective rehabilitation strategy. Finally, the study results were used to estimate the impacts that increased use of BST surfaces would have on the performance of the state-owned route system.
