An innovative low-carbon road resurfacing project has saved 4,500 tonnes of carbon dioxide, according to Highways Industry.
The scheme forms part of work to demonstrate lower-carbon approaches to road resurfacing and support the development of a greener road network.
Demonstrating lower-carbon maintenance
Road resurfacing is a significant part of highway maintenance activity, making construction materials, methods and delivery important areas for reducing emissions. The reported saving underlines the potential for demonstrator projects to help cut the carbon impact of maintaining the network.
Further project details, including the location, delivery partners and methods used, were not included in the supplied source material.
