However, manufacturers state their products will mitigate reflective cracking, therefore extending the pavement life cycle. To evaluate the performance of each manufacturer\u2019s product, an experimental test section consisting of a southbound and northbound segment was established on US 31W in Louisville, Kentucky. The funding for this project will help track the performance of each product from the construction phase through the long-term monitoring phase. Hall Construction performed all work.88
