A 14,000-sq-ft installation of a proprietary paving material that was combined with recycled rubber tires wrapped up last month at Yellowstone National Park, marking the largest undertaking of its kind to date in the three-year project near Old Faithful.
Crews, including park and Michelin volunteers with contractor KBI, laid the porous pavement for a 9-ft-wide, 2-in.-thick path as part of an approximately $200,000 contract with Yellowstone Forever, the official non-profit organization working with Yellowstone National Park. The fourth phase of the project brings the total amount of pavement for walking paths to 34,000 sq ft.
