Abstract:

This report provides a summary of the sustainability efforts of the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) in recycling reclaimed materials in highway construction during calendar year 2016. This report meets the requirements of Illinois Public Act097-0314 by documenting IDOT’s efforts to reduce the carbon footprint and achieve cost savings through the use of recycled materials in asphalt paving projects. Research efforts undertaken and those that will have a future impact on IDOT’s sustainability efforts are highlighted. In 2017, 1,451,675 tons of recycled material were used, an 19% decrease in recycled tonnage from the 1,795,408 tons in 2016. The value of 2017 recycled materials was $51,488,535, a 1.5% increase from 2016. In 2017, the miles of roadway improvement decreased, the number of bridges constructed or rehabilitated increased, and value of projects awarded was higher, as compared with 2016 figures. Despite the decrease in recycled tonnage in 2017, the overall value of the recycled materials increased due to increase in the price for some of the individual recycled materials.
