The road was originally paved with a cold mix base, followed by hot mix overlays applied in more recent years. Scope of Work: The Town replaced existing culverts and completed spot repairs as needed prior to All States arriving on site.

Treatment Selection & Benefits: The Town of Bremen chose cold mix apshalt due to the cracking and distress of the existing pavement structure. CMA is a very flexible and crack resistant material that performs well on non-engineered rural roads. The CMA overlay will also add structure, fill existing ruts & greatly improve the ride of Heath Road. Local aggregates were evaluated for coating and performance prior to manufacturing the CMA.

Scope of Work:The Town replaced existing culverts and completed spot repairs as needed prior to All States arriving on site. A cold mix asphalt was then placed at 1 1/2 inches in depth using a dense graded mix design. The Town plans to have the road chip sealed in the summer of 2015.

Treatment Selection & Benefits:The Town of Bremen chose cold mix apshalt due to the cracking and distress of the existing pavement structure. CMA is a very flexible and crack resistant material that performs well on non-engineered rural roads.
