A minor rehabilitation project is a cost effective way to improve pavement structure, enhance safety for motorists, and preserve one of the state’s largest and most important assets.
Strengthening the pavement structure extends the service life of the road and reduces long term maintenance needs. The new surface improves safety by creating a smoother, more uniform surface that enhances vehicle control, reduces skidding, and improves water drainage. It also restores proper pavement texture and removes ruts and other surface distresses that can contribute to hydroplaning or sudden driver maneuvers.
Fresh, high contrast lane markings on the new surface are much more visible, especially at night or in wet conditions and helps drivers stay in their lane reducing the risk of a crash.
