A delinked polymer modified bitumen comprising a delinked polymer-bitumen composite and additional bituminous material. The delinked polymer-bitumen composite comprises sulfur-cured elastomeric material having a vulcanized network and a plurality of polymer backbones; at least one rubber accelerator and at least one activator in sufficient quantities to delink the vulcanized network of the sulfur-cured elastomeric material; and at least one bituminous material, where the sulfur-cured elastomeric material, the rubber accelerator, the activator, and the bituminous material are mixed under high shear conditions at a temperature greater than 70° C. to produce the delinked polymer-bitumen composite.
