Abstract
This project involved the design, application, and evaluation ofan asphalt concrete mix, made ice retardant by the addition of encapsulated calcium chloride pellets (verglimit). This deicing asphalt was placed along an 8/10-mi section of route 173 in clinton, new jersey. The agent was effective in retarding icing of the pavement and made snow removal easier. Skid-resistance values taken over a 10-month period are as good as those of other mix i-4 asphalt concrete pavements.
