flag A new graphene-enhanced asphalt in Essex shows promise in reducing potholes, cutting costs, and enabling smarter road maintenance.

flag A graphene-enhanced asphalt trial on the A12 in Essex shows promise in tackling the UK’s pothole crisis, with the material proving stronger, more durable, and better able to withstand temperature changes and heavy traffic. flag It can extend road lifespans by up to 70%, reduce repair costs, and incorporate up to 40% recycled materials like plastic and tyres. flag Early results indicate lower maintenance needs and potential for embedded sensors to enable predictive maintenance. flag The success has sparked interest in a national rollout to address a £16.3 billion repair backlog and improve road safety and sustainability.
