This report documents the construction and performance of the Colorado Department of Transportation's (CDOT's) first two Stone Mastic Asphalt (SMA) projects. The first project, located on SH 119 from SH 52 to Longmont, contained three SMA mixes, two polymer-stabilized mixes and one fiber mix. This project successfully demonstrated the design, production and placement of SMA. The second project located on the Colfax Viaduct in Denver was CDOT's first attempt to use SMA on a bridge deck. This project used a polymer-stabilized mix. This project successfully demonstrated the placement of SMA on a bridge deck. SMA is currently being used as a wearing surface in Colorado. Guidelines and a best practice guide have been developed and have been adopted for statewide use. In addition, CDOT's Bridge Branch has developed a specification for using SMA as part of the overlay system.
