Overview
This project is complete.
This project strengthened the westbound right lane and extended its service life by installing dowel bars in the wheel paths between each concrete panel. The project also replaced severely cracked panels. Grooves were ground into the road surface to improve traction and reduce hydroplaning.
 | Improves Safety
The project restored signing, striping, and other basic safety features as well as improved traction of the roadway surface.

 | Economic Incentive
This project supported an estimated 105 jobs, which included jobs on the project, jobs producing materials for the project, and other jobs in the local community.
