 Georgia Highway Gums Up Traffic | | By: Dirk Steele | Published: 12/07/1999 | | |  |

At first I thought a load of bubble gum had been spilled onto
the highway. Turns out was like a giant fly strip, would have
been interesting to see what happened when the cars drove into
it.
Brunswick, Ga. (AP) - It's frustrating enough to get a wad of
bubble gum stuck on your shoe. Imagine driving into a similar
situation.
A rubberized tar sealant sprayed onto a four-mile stretch of
U.S. 82 in southeast Georgia last week became a gooey, sticky
disaster for about 200 motorists this week.
The sun heated the material - made of tar and shredded tires -
and it became sticky enough to stop traffic between Nahunta and
Atkinson in Brantley County.
"It was like driving into a big mass of hot super glue," said
Tim Cupp, a trucker who got stuck in the muck. Cupp said his
rig will need 18 new tires because the rubbery goo had
vulcanized and become part fo each $450 tire..
All drivers with damaged vehicles will be compensated, said
Thomas Gill, an assistant transportation department
engineer.
