Abstract: A full scale test road was built with marine dredged sediments at the Dunkirk harbour, in the north of France. The first objective of this work was to evaluate the compatibility of this material with current practice used to build roads with standard materials. In the second time, the impacts of time on the mechanical behaviour and the concentration of contaminants in the leachates, such as trace metals and chlorides of the used material, were evaluated.
