Membrane recommended for Highway applications for better asphalt

If Cross Slope or Crown is required:
Acrow Bridge less than 100ft in length can be “tilted” in cross direction
1%. Therefore, if 2% cross slope is required, 1% is in tilt, the
remaining 1% in asphalt.
Acrow Bridge greater than 100ft in length must be installed level. Any
crown or cross slope must be created using asphalt only.
If design call for extreme cross slope situations, special transoms
beams with cross slope designed into the beams can be obtained from
Acrow.
Removal of asphalt is achieved by scraping top deck with dozer blade
