The 34,000 SY project included urban reconstruction through a major
interchange with bridge widening and ramp reconstruction. It was
completed in 74 days—one day ahead of schedule.
Over 37,000 SY of 8 in. and 9 in. concrete pavement were called for
in this alternate bid contract. The project featured 1.74 miles of newly
constructed alignment and a new interchange to provide access to US
31 from a new industrial corridor to Plymouth, Indiana.
This 1.2 mile-long reconstruction project on US 36 entering Belleville,
Kans., involved two major parts—a bridge reconstruction and pavement
reconstruction. A total of 55 actual rain days did not delay the overall
project, which was delivered two days ahead of the revised schedule.
Reconstruction and widening of an existing two-lane asphalt roadway
required over 58,000 SY of 8 in. concrete pavement to be placed over a
3 in. asphalt base and 8 in. of cement stabilized-subgrade. An innovative
design feature used bright green, colorized concrete bike lanes to
enhance safety and improve visibility and awareness of drivers.
This $21 million, 137,000 SY project featured five bridges, 14.5 lane
miles of 11 in. concrete roadway, three intersections, grading, drainage
and base work. A rigorous QA/QC plan, which featured the use of
real-time smoothness and MIT Scan dowel verification, helped ensure
quality on the project.
Crews worked during the winter months and used a new, white filter-
fabric to help control temperature on the subbase and migrate water out
from under the new concrete. Even with delays due to rain and snow
events, over 47,000 SY of 9 in. concrete pavement was constructed
under budget and completed a month early.
Two roundabouts replaced two dangerous intersections. The four-
phased construction schedule allowed safe transitions for the daily
traffic of over 40,000 vehicles. In addition to 24,000 SY of concrete
paving, 26,000 SF of concrete sidewalk was installed.
The severely deteriorated asphalt pavement in downtown Antonito was
reconstructed with 21,000 SY of 9 in. concrete pavement were placed
on 8,000 tons of aggregate base.
