Rapid changes in temperature now a day’s big problem to face worst situations, Durability point is a big factor which affects the life period of the pavement surface and its components, Nominal mixes which consists of inert material doesn’t gives better Durability in severe traffic and climate conditions Today’s flexible pavements are Required to perform better as they are facing increased volume of traffic, increased loads and increased variations in daily or seasonal temperature over what has been Challenged in the past. As these are non-biodegradable there is a major problem posed to the society with regard to the management of these solid wastes. Even, the reclaimed polyethylene originally made of HDPE has been observed to modify bitumen. In the present study, an attempt has been made to use HDPE as admixtures in nominal bitumen mix to overcome the problem of resistance to weathering actions and repetitive wheel loads. The grade of bitumen produced in India without admixtures are not able to cope up with the extreme weather conditions across our country; there arise a need to reinforce bitumen mixes with proper admixtures. This waste materials can be operated and used successfully in the construction of roads thus avoiding the environmental problems and minimize the cost of construction of roads within the country Various studies are proposed to be conducted with varying the mix ratio of the admixtures with bitumen keeping the maximum level of admixtures to 10% by volume.
