Purpose:

This purpose of this project is to correct deficiencies which have appeared over the life of this 20-year-old concrete pavement. Joint and random spalls, longitudinal and transverse cracking, pavement blowouts, and pavement deterioration are present on these pavement sections. The proposed project will aid in extending the useful life of this pavement by replacing the deteriorated pavement and restoring its structural integrity, therefore delaying future deterioration and improving ride quality.

In addition to pavement repairs, the Contractor will also be replacing various sections of sidewalk that have become uneven or need to be updated to meet the current standards of the Americans with Disabilities Act.

Miscellaneous Info:

In CPR projects, crews remove deficient areas of the driving surface and replace them with new concrete pavement. Affected sections of the roadway will re-open to traffic once designed comprehensive strength has been achieved on the new concrete.
