    Yeah but it'll be eco asphalt!

    Transportation departments in Idaho, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota and Wyoming asked the Transportation Department to make lower-emissions construction techniques eligible for the funds, according to a federal filing. The Federal Highway Administration guidance said such projects may be eligible, citing “sustainable pavements technologies that reduce embodied carbon during the manufacture and/or construction of highway projects.” States would have to demonstrate that such materials lead to “substantial reductions” in carbon emissions compared with “typical pavement-related practices.”
