The major structural rehabilitation of County Road 49 reached another key milestone this week as the contractor completed rubblization of the existing concrete roadway.
The contractor anticipates that the first layer of asphalt, also known as the base lift, will be installed on the entire 17.2 km span of County Road 49 by the end of this weekend (Sunday, November 1).
No paving is planned for the coming week (November 2 – 6).
Next week, the contractor will focus on full depth removals at crossroad intersections in order to blend to the new raised elevation of County Road 49. Single lane traffic will remain open during intersection work with traffic control and flagging.
Work will also take place next week to prepare the existing gravel shoulders for asphalt. The second and third lift of asphalt will be paved wider than the first base lift. This will result in 2.0 metre (6.5 feet) paved shoulders.
Roadside ditching and some entrance culvert replacements will also occur next week.
