The article reports that Virginia has approved the execution of more warm-mix asphalt (WMA) applications. It says that the factors that contributed to the growing attention on the potential benefits of (WMA) in the U.S. are the rising energy costs and the need to reduce greenhouse gases. It mentions that because it provides workability at lower temperatures, state departments of transportation also are interested in WMA.
