Cheaper road care with new methods

THE use of new methods for road pavement is expected to reduce maintenance costs by up to 30%, says Deputy Works Minister Datuk Rosnah Abdul Rashid Shirlin.

She said the new methods, such as “cup-lump modified asphalt” (CMA), “cold in place recycling” (CIPR) and “polymer modified asphalt” (PMA) had yielded good results and improved road quality.
