What in the hell did they pave some parts of highway 20 going to Canton with? Its like a brown loose gravel, cheap, crap pavement or something? Felt and sounded like I was driving down a dirt road off and on!
 
They did the same thing up hwy 140 going to Waleska. They did a tar spray, sprinkled some "mix" then hit with the steam roller.
 
" The traditional process for mixing, hauling, placing, and compacting asphalt mixtures uses HMA. WMA is a general term for technologies that reduce the temperature needed to produce and compact asphalt mixtures for the construction of pavements. With WMA, temperatures generally start 30 ° 70°F lower during mixing and remain lower during trucking, placement, and compaction. The mixture cools after compaction to form the asphalt pavement."

Wonder if it is a warm mix?
