RE: microsurfacing
From a pratical standpoint, it works very well on through pavement sections where it is machine applied. Where hand work is required, not so good.
RE: microsurfacing
The other was used on an older composite pavement. It started delaminating at the reflection cracks within a year.
I imagine there have been materials advances since then, but the lesson I took away from it is microsurfacing adn other surface treatments will keep a good road good, but won't fix a bad road.
