N2  - Potholes are like a recurring virus for roadway crews everywhere. However, by using recycled plastic waste materials, several cities and counties have found a permanent solution to their frequent pothole and road-wear problems. The system is installed prior to asphalt or concrete fill material. It includes a cross-laminated polyethylene liner that is placed on the bottom and up the sides of the hole to act as a foundation for the repair materials. The liner also prevents water intrusion. A polypropylene mesh sheet goes over the liner, and a half-inch (1.3-cm) polyvinyl chloride reinforcing rod is woven through the mesh sheet to absorb vehicle impact. Asphalt can then be poured over the entire setup.<p />
