Gilsonite replaces paint for Utah highway striping
Utah will use gilsonite, a native Utah product found near Vernal, as a cheaper longer lasting substitute for yellow highway paint. State officials say black gilsonite ribbons on concrete will appear by June, with thicker mixes usable on dark roads by adding white aggregate. The plan, inspired by cost and oil shortages, aims to stretch gas tax dollars while improving durability.
