When intersection pavement must undergo repairs, the construction process is generally long and complicated, sometimes spanning several months.
Motorists often become aggravated by the extended travel delays and detours.
Businesses adjacent to the construction sometimes claim lost revenues because blocked entrances remove easy access to the parking lot. Ultimately, the longer the intersection reconstruction project lasts, the greater the potential for legal problems and costs associated with construction and public safety. Where extended or partial closure of an urban intersection might negatively impact local businesses or cause legal and traffic-flow problems, pavement reconstruction can be accelerated to be complete in 72 hours or less. But the use of FT concrete is not effective without a clear plan prior to construction. It's more than just using FT concrete - construction concepts must be integrated into the design process.
