RE: Seems Like a Step Backward to Me
Not sure of the ADT, nor the condition of the subbase....but if the exist. material is a good thickness and AC content of old ACP: if it is reclaimed and regraded/ compacted during the hot season.....the R.A.P.(reclaimed asphalt conc pavt.)will grade out nicely and "resemble" tight graded new ACP mat over time.
The major problem we have seen with using only RAP on a rdwy not having adequate drainage is potholing out.
Have seen "rejuvinator" products used...with limited success to assist in old dried out pavements that have been reclaimed....but always placing a new ACP mat over the top.

Very cost effective. Very fast, except in urban/suburban areas where you have to work around manhole covers/inlets.

I've heard that for ADT's below 150, paving often isn't cost-effective.
