Caltrans repaves roadway with recycled plastic bottles Roads & Bridges The California DOT (Caltrans) will repave a section of Highway 162 in Oroville this week using recycled asphalt pavement and liquid plastic made with single-use, plastic bottles. This is the first time the department has paved a road using 100% recycled materials. The pilot project features work on three lanes of a 1,000-ft highway segment. The department is testing the material for later use throughout the state. A 1-mile segment of pavement using this treatment will recycle 150,000 plastic bottles. READ MORE
