Infrastructure reflects development of any country, where roads are the main element of infrastructure. Country’s growth highly depends on road. Government gives high priority and allocate huge budget on road sector. In this fast growing world people live in heterogeneous life style, in which plastic has taken inevitable place. Plastic waste has reached near up to 5 billion tone worldwide. At present time plastic ban is not right way to reduce plastic pollution, However the efficient management of disposal and collection of waste is right way. Recent government of India also promotes plastic bituminous mix. India has second highest road network in the world with more than 56lakhs kilo meter road network dated on 31st march 2016. 40% of this large road network is remained to pave, which has option of construction or maintenance with plastic bituminous mix. This is the best way to minimize plastic impact on environment. Plastic road will work durably and efficiently. In this study High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) has been used, which has been collected from municipal solid waste (MSW) dumping site. Wet process has been employed to make Modified bitumen. Different dosage of HDPE was instilled in to VG30 bitumen. To examine physical property of bitumen Penetration Test, Softening Point Test, Ductility Test and Viscosity Test have been performed. Gradation of aggregate has been done for bituminous concrete layer. To check stability Marshall Method has been used, mould preparation has been done with dry process. To evaluate difference between conventional bituminous mix and plastic bituminous mix stretch of 230m was selected from Vyara town. Pavement condition Survey (PCS) has been carried out to check distress in pavement. Results from the PCS of the study show that plastic bituminous mix has low distresses compare to bituminous mix pavement.
