This paper describes the rehabilitation of three differentpavement types existing within a 35 km section of a heavily traffickeddual carriageway freeway between Cape Town and Paarl, South Africa.This freeway was originally constructed between 1968 and 1973and the first stage of the rehabilitation was carried out in 1985.A further detailed investigation of the structural and functionalcondition of these pavements using the South African mechanisticpavement design approach was carried out in 1993.

Various rehabilitation measures were selected to best suitthe three different pavement types and the second stage of therehabilitation was carried out in 1995 within a limited budget.The freeway pavement should now be able to carry the projectedtwenty year design traffic loading of 6.5 x 10^6 equivalent 80kN axle loads. A rut resistant, continuously graded asphalt surfacingwas used and rolled in, precoated stone chips were added to providea skid resistant surface.
