WINNER - CONCRETE PAVEMENT RESTORATION (CPR)
Jackson Road concrete repair project
Location: Westbound Jackson Road, Scio Township, Washtenaw County
Concrete Contractor: Mark Anthony Contracting, Inc.
Concrete Supplier: Doan Companies
QC Consultant: CT Consultants - A Verdantas Company
Project Owner: Washtenaw County Road Commission
The Washtenaw County Road Commission (WCRC) recently rehabilitated the westbound lanes of Jackson Road between Jackson Industrial Drive and Myrtle Avenue in Scio Township. As a vital corridor carrying over 18,000 vehicles daily, the project aimed to improve road durability while maintaining traffic flow and business access;
Mark Anthony Contracting removed and replaced 7,800 linear feet of deteriorated 9-inch-high performance non-reinforced concrete pavement, originally reconstructed in 2001. The $1.56 million project was completed in two stages, addressing both travel lanes and business driveways while keeping one lane open to traffic.
Challenges & Solutions
- Live Traffic & Business Access: Traffic was reduced to one lane, requiring strategic access points for trucking deliveries and businesses.
- Quality Control & Scheduling: Strict QC/QA measures ensured smooth project flow and concrete strength without delays.
- No Pre-Established Survey: Existing pavement served as a reference for maintaining proper crown and road profile.
Through careful planning and execution, WCRC successfully enhanced safety, improved traffic flow, and minimized disruptions to businesses and commuters, ensuring a stronger, more resilient Jackson Road for the future.
