A road trial consisting of five different asphalt sections was placed in Brisbane to examine the relationship between rutting in-service and the laboratory wheel tracking test. The trial was placed at the Brisbane City Council quarry at Mount Coot-tha. This report presents the construction information and some initial laboratory work to characterise the mixes used in the trial. During the construction process the asphalt mat temperature and density was measured at intervals to monitor trends.
