This project included the complete reconstruction of Madison Avenue. It included concrete roadway to bituminous, along with ADA ramp updates at Madison Avenue and West 5th street. Construction began with milling and placing scratch on West 5th street followed by the removal of existing ADA ramps along Madison Avenue and West 5th street. Once existing curb ramps were removed the contractor placed new 2A sub base. Forms were constructed and check for compliance prior to placement of Class A concrete. Class A concrete was tested for Air, Slump and temp prior to placement and finishing. Once all ADA ramps were completed the contractor began removal of Madison Avenues existing concrete. Prior to removal both edges of roadway were saw cut along the gutter line. Roadway was removed along with an additional 17 inches of existing unsuitable base material to allow for a 12 inch deep undercut and 8 inches of new 2A sub base. Number 1 stone was used as backfill for the undercut. Madison Avenue was finished off with 4.5 inches of 25mm base, 9.5mm scratch and 1.5 inches of 9.5mm wearing. Finally, West 5th street was topped with 1.5 inches of 9.5 mm wearing to complete this project.
