Love’s Travel Stop 8-Year Update
Date: 2017
Location: Newton, NC
Fiber: FORTA-FI®
Project Description
Originally constructed in 2017, Love’s Travel Stop required a parking lot designed to withstand constant heavy truck traffic. By incorporating FORTA-FI in the asphalt wearing course, the pavement thickness was reduced while maintaining structural performance.
This design preserved elevation, minimized excavation, and significantly lowered upfront construction costs, while also reducing long-term maintenance expenses.
Update
Eight years later, the asphalt pavement continues to exceed performance expectations under daily high-volume truck traffic; proving that engineered asphalt solutions deliver superior performance at a fraction of the cost of rigid pavement alternatives.
