Gives Reasons For
Faulty Construction
OF New 210 Section

Faulty construction of the new
Oakland to Gortner highway, US.
219, coupled with the extremely
severe winter weather, have caused
numerous depressions to appear,
making it necessary to make eX-
tensive repairs.
These repairs have been going
on for the past two or three weeks.
The reason for the breakdown
in the new road was explained by
John D. Bushby, district engineer
last Friday while he was in Oak
land on business.
He pointed out the pavement
section, as designed, consisted of
two four inch courses of plant
mix dense graded aggregate base,
plus a one-half inch bituminous
concrete leveling course and one
and one-half inches of bituminous
concrete surface course.
He declared:
Due to the relatively open
graded texture of the bituminous
concrete band that was used, and
the extremely severe winter which
was recently experienced in the
area, and the fact that traffic was
not placed on the highway until
late in the fall, some distress has
been evidenced, particularly along
the edges of the pavement. The
shoulder construction was not COM
pleted except in a very limited
area in the vicinity of the railroad
grade separation structure. This
condition meant that water could
get in to the base material.
"As a corrective m u + c,
shoulder drains have been made
effective so as to re-establish the
stability of the base course, and
it is proposed to proceed with
patching of the base where neces-
sary Subsequent to exhaustive in
vestigations by the District and
construction forces, and the S.R.C.
Bureau of Soils and Materials, it
has been determined that an addi-
ton of at least a 1" depth of
bituminous concrete surface course,
using a more closely graded band
will be required. This measure
will effectively roof the pavement
and minimize any infiltration from
the top.
Insofar as traffic is concerned
and by comparison with other prof.
ects in the area, we believe that
the pavement was properly de-
signed originally. The weather con-
ditions in this area, however, in
sert an additional factor which
was not considered to the extent
necessary. We feel that the addi-
tional construction proposed is es-
sential to adequate final construc-
ton

diesel dragged her 30 to 40 feet
