Cold in-place recycling is a process where the existing asphalt pavement is cold milled to produce reclaimed asphalt pavement, processed into a recycled mixture, placed, and compacted onto the roadway, which corrects irregularities in the pavement surface, removes existing cracks, potholes, and raveling.
Other advantages to this type of roadway treatment include conserving nonrenewable resources and energy and cost savings compared to other treatments.
