Minnesota Roads Rebuilt with Recycled Materials | Minneapolis News

Minnesota’s summer construction boom is turning pavement into profit and planet-saving gold. With over 200 road and bridge projects underway, the state’s DOT is recycling old asphalt and concrete instead of tossing them — turning waste into valuable resources. Crushed asphalt saves $100 per ton, and one project saved $250,000 by reusing aggregate on-site. Even bridge steel, with a 98% recycle rate, is part of this circular economy. It’s not just fixing infrastructure — it’s building it smarter, greener, and potentially for good.
