Potholes cause chaos around the tunnels of Rhône-Alps

TAMWORTH, U.K. - July 12, 2017 - PRLog -- Millions of cars and heavy goods vehicles regularly travel through the many road tunnels in the Northern Alp region. Regular trafficking, braking and turning from heavyweight vehicles and trucks had caused severe damage to the wearing course on a roundabout connecting the French highway to such a tunnel.

Numerous cold asphalts had been trialled on the roundabout in an attempt to repair the damage but every product used thus far had failed, causing further disruption to motorists and costly repeat visits for the local municipality.

A new repair product was needed that would withstand heavy and constant trafficking and provide a permanent repair in areas of braking and turning. After careful research, a trial was completed using world renowned UltraCrete Instant Road Repair and Vert Bleu are delighted to report that the repair has now been in place for over 2 months and shows no signs of failing – a significant improvement compared to the previous repair products used.
