ABSTRACT
The Hanshin Expressway is an urban toll expressway network that stretches through the Hanshin Area from Osaka to Kobe in Japan.
Pavements on the Hanshin Expressway are made primarily of asphalt mixtures, and concrete pavements are used only in tunnels. Asphalt pavements are not as durable as concrete pavements, and their service life is usually as short as 10 to 20 years.
