Abstract:

During hot mix asphalt (HMA) construction and rehabilitation, partially completed pavements are often opened to

traffic between construction periods. This results in transverse dropoffs at the transition between pavements of

different elevations. Caltrans follows the common practice of constructing transverse tapers (or wedges) of hot mix

asphalt between the different pavement levels.
