Abstract:In the summer of 2000 shredded tires were used in an experimental project on a full highway
reconstruction project in the town of Rome. Shredded tires were used to construct a subgrade drain in the
ditch profile. The picture at right shows the completed ditch and shoulder area during the spring of 2001.
The French drain is located beneath the riprap on the road side of the ditch. This interim report documents
temperature and water levels in the tire shred drain over time during the month of March 2003.
