ST. JOHNS, Michigan (Michigan News Source) – A soybean oil-based asphalt could enhance the life cycle of typical asphalt in roads, and one road commission is willing to give it a try.
The Clinton County Road Commission partnered up with the Michigan Soybean Committee (MSC), and the Soy Transportation Coalition (STC), in support to apply a soybean oil-based asphalt enhancement product to a one-mile stretch of Colony Road in Fowler.
The product is described as a restorative asphalt modifier that has increased pavement life cycles up to 40 percent.
