Description of Improvements

Rebuilt in 1980 such that the traveled way shows the expected amount of wear and tear with various patching locations and buried lines crossings. The base appears to be adequate with occassional area of aligator cracking and soft spots. Reconstruction is not warrented. An overlay with pre-level and spot dig-out repairs will render a complete repair. Existing handicap ramps and driveway approaches have been properly upgraded to meet current ADA standards. The designapproach is to apply a 1/2 inch pre-level on the entire section from Ehorn Lane west to Stevens Street. The apply a 1-1/2 inch overlay from curb to curb between 4th Street and 2nd Street and overlay travel lanes from Ehorn Lane to 4th Street and 2nd Street and 2nd Street to Stevens Street. This will provide surfacing and aesthetics on the shoulders in outlying areas of the road.
