Project description

This area is a red sandhill and is impossible to compact without mixing with a gravel source. It poses great safety issues and damage to vehicles in dry weather. The program has now been decided to be combined with the Regional Road Repair Program ($800,000) to seal this section. Seal surface with a 14 millimetre aggregate bottom coat and finish with a seven millimetre aggregate for second coat. A C170 bitumen will be used

Import a gravel material and mix in with the existing pavement to stabilise the pavement to improve surface. This area is waiting on funding from RMS to seal under the Regional Road Repair Program. Form up existing material and combine with imported gravel to form subbase of road. Import 200 millimetres depth of gravel to a nine metre formation water roll and compact to specification. Seal with

Total cost of proposed project is $2,251,915
