Design of the mixture and non-slip buffing treatment on the main boulevard in Malaga

The project included designing the special asphalt mixture, made with a reddish iron oxide aggregate, for the lanes of the central road. The appearance of the black asphalt has been dulled to differentiate the taxi and bus lanes next to the two new pedestrian lanes on either side. Subsequently, the non-slip buffing treatment has been carried out to give a uniform appearance to the pavement.
