MR. JUSTICE DALY
(concurring in part and dissenting in part) :
I concur generally with the majority opinion but cannot agree with the damage award discussed under issue 2 to replace and repair the exit and entrance roadways. The contractor surfaced the roadway after being warned by the engineer in charge that it was not ready for surfacing. The contractor was informed he might have to come back and repair the road. The full burden of this road rests on the road contractor under these circumstances.
*503The deduction on estimate No. 5 made by the engineers for seal oil and cover aggregate is not significant as it pertains to reconstruction of the road and does not cover that damage figure due the owner for the exit portion, much less the entrance. There is testimony that both exit and entrance roads need attention due to deterioration and the entire job would cost $7,000. Under the circumstances the $1,500 award is error.
