Utah recycles 15,000 cu yds of old highway concrete to build new interchanges

Around 15,000 cubic yards of the recycled material were used as the structural base layer for new highway interchanges. The approach significantly cut down on truck trips needed to haul away debris and eliminated the need for off-site waste disposal. The project effectively extended the life of a highway that had been in service for roughly three decades.
