The buildings were almost ready. The first advance crews were arriving. The Department of Transportation was fulfilling its mission of providing safe, smooth highways, with all removal of paving activity for a 6 week period before the opening ceremonies. This section is adjacent to Hartfeld International Airport, at the entrance to the cargo facilities. Most of it has 6 lanes in each direction, and several interchanges per mile.
Traffic count is extreme with a large percentage of trucks.
The project was advertised for three weeks, awarded the day of the opening, and construction started almost immediately. A huge success, the Ralumac surface was applied quickly, and reopened to traffic soon after application. Georgia was pleased with the material, the speed of application, and the price. These projects are just a few of the examples of Koch's continual exploration of innovative solutions for safe, fast, durable, and cost-effective pavements to the motorists on our nation's highways.
