1. A method of forming asphalt pavement, said method comprising the steps of:
combining a base asphalt component, an oxidized high density polyethylene, and an additional polyethylene different from the oxidized high density polyethylene and selected from non-oxidized polyethylene homopolymer, oxidized low density polyethylene, and a combination thereof to form an asphalt mixture, wherein the mixture has a viscosity of at least about 30,000 Pa·s at a temperature of 60° C. and a viscosity of less than about 150 cP at a temperature of 160° C., wherein viscosity is determined in accordance with ASTM D4402;
foaming the asphalt mixture using water and compressed air to form a foamed asphalt composition;
combining the foamed asphalt composition and a recycled asphalt component to form a recycled asphalt composition; and
forming a recycled asphalt layer with the recycled asphalt composition.
