An Ultra-Thin Asphalt Overlay is densely graded asphalt mix that provides a thin wearing surface that helps to preserve the pavement structure, reduces road noise and give a very smooth finish. These mixes are placed with a conventional asphalt paver approximately ½” to 1” thick is compacted with a steel wheel roller. This treatment can be combined with other treatments such a crack seal and chip seals to address cracks in the existing surface. The cost of this treatment is approximately $40,000 per lane mile of roadway.
