In 2024, Utah recycled 15,000 cubic yards of 30-year-old highway concrete on site; enough to fill two Goodyear Blimps became road base for new interchanges

Utah’s Bangerter Highway saw old concrete recycled for new road base. Approximately fifteen thousand cubic yards of concrete were crushed on site. This material formed the structural layer beneath new highway interchanges. The recycling process reduced truck journeys and avoided waste disposal. This initiative gave a thirty-year-old highway a significant second life.
