Benton County to Pave Roads With Recycled Tires
Benton County road crews will soon start paving roads, but the county is trying something new. They are adding chips of rubber tires in an asphalt mix as a part of the county’s “Green Road Paving Project.”
“They grind up really fine the particles, you can hardly see it, it`s a fine product when they grind it down and that is melted down into an oil and the oil is what goes into the asphalt,” Cindy Jones, Benton County Road Department Coordinator.
