USE OF SOIL STABILIZERS ON HIGHWAY SHOULDERS
Background
General Assembly action:
VTRC shall study the use of soil stabilizers in highway s.houlders at one or more selected locations with the objective of finding a method of substantially reducing the occurrence of pavement/shoulder drop off at a reasonable cost
