ABSTRACT
The surface layer of the Konin-Września motorway section was made between July and November of 2001. Although the tests of melaphyre aggregates against grade and class requirements had confirmed that grits were the first class and grade according to the Polish standards, the motorway has been wearing rapidly with the first repairs being carried out as early as 2003. The motorway surface has been excessively worn and looks as if it were used for at least 5 years. The paper explains why the motorway surface has been worn so rapidly.
