Project location: SR-115 and US-6 Pavement Rehabilitation
With this job being a maintenance re-surfacing project, the goal was to deliver a quality long-lasting project. The completed wearing courses of SMA, chip seal, and micro-surface do just that. On top of that, the completed longitudinal rumble strips provide the safety component for motorists to help eliminate accidents along this highway. Working within a 9-hour nightly mill and overlay shift, our traffic control, trucking, asphalt plant and construction crews were successfully able to rotomill 4 inches of existing asphalt and pave back 2.5 inches of HMA. Upon completion of the HMA phase of 28,134 tons, we paved back 18,553 tons of Stone Matrix Asphalt (SMA) on 17 lane miles, with only two bumps to grind.
