Is whitetopping new?
The first whitetopping pavement was reportedly placed in 1918, and has been used on hundreds of projects. In the 1990s, new developments to whitetopping design and construction were made, such as the identification of ultra-thin whitetopping (UTW) as a pavement type alternative. In the last 10 years, whitetopping has been making a comeback as a viable paving alternative.
