Work Upcoming the Week of June 21:
The crews will now focus on building the roadway of Spring Street by excavating the underlying soils to subgrade depth and placing aggregate base course in preparation for concrete curb and gutters.
The pavement section of Spring Street between Clay and Webster Avenue is getting special attention due to the poor underlying soils. The subgrade soils will be cutdown considerably further and a lightweight slag aggregate will be placed to ensure a lighter cross section that will further inhibit settlement of the roadway. This cross section along with the soil surcharging done over the winter should allow for a long lifespan fof the roadway and utilities.
