Project Details
After major flooding in 2011 and annual spring/summer issues with oil field traffic getting stuck, the county was forced to address this high maintenance area. They elected to stabilize 12″ of the subgrade with cement in 6 different sections of the 6 mile project and stabilize the top 4″ of a modified, ND Class 13 gravel with BASE ONE®. The roadway was finished with a double chip seal surface treatment.
