Existing ConditionsMidvale Road is one of the major arterials serving the City's and Port of Sunnyside's industrial area. Major freight traffic is constant, serving businesses and outlying communities beyond the City. The existing asphalt surface is severely degraded by ravelling, cracking, areas of alligator cracking, and delamination. The roadway was constructed in 2004 and exhibits a pavement condition of a roadway in excess of 20 years. The asphalt surface was constructed in two lifts of asphalt over a span of a winter season. The upper and lower layers of asphalt are showing major deterioration evidenced through asphalt cores. This project will reconstruct the roadway surface. The community need for this project is increased since Midvale Road is the only access for the many businesses. No alternative routes exist. |

Summary of Improvements
- Supports economic development;
- Restores structural condition
Description of Improvements
The project will remove the existing 6 inches of asphalt roadway leaving the existing curb and gutter, concrete sidewalk, and aggregate base. The two deficient 12-foot travel lanes will be reconstructed to the aggregate base coarse. The aggregate base is over 12-inches thick and was found to be satisfactory. The base will be recompacted and tested for compaction. The first three inches of the center turn lane will be removed, leaving 3 inches remaining. The travel lanes will be reconstructed using two 3-inch lifts of asphalt. The upper asphalt lift will include the center turn lane. This method will reduce the project costs while ensuring the maximum benefit to the community. Since this arterial is the only access for many businesses, the roadway can stay open by shifting traffic to utilize the turning lane as a travel lane. Maintaining one-directional traffic in one lane is also an option to reduce costs and expedite the construction schedule.
