Transcript of Georgia #20, 2011
By Lori LovelyCEG CORRESPONDENT
After decades of traffic, StateRoute 365/US 23 between Lulaand Cornelia, Ga., is in need ofrepair. After an extensive corridorstudy of the four-lane, median-divided rural highway, the GeorgiaDepartment of Transportation(GDOT) designed a project toremove damaged, crumblingasphalt and lay down a new,smooth driving surface from SR52 in Hall County to the split at SR17 and U.S. 441 in HabershamCounty. The population in both counties
is projected to nearly triple over a25-year period, rising from195,300 in 2005 to 577,090 in2030. The rate of projected changein employment is expected toincrease by more than 3.5 times,rising from 81,400 workers to307,048 by 2030. The impact on traffic volume is
significant and could lead to grid-lock conditions, particularly south
of Lula, according to the study.Two-way, 24-hour traffic volumeson SR 365 vary from a high of31,000 vehicles per day on two
sections in Hall County to a low ofapproximately 18,000 vpd inHabersham County, where dailytraffic peaks at 29,500 vpd. With
an unusually high incidence ofinjury and fatal crashes alreadyrecorded since 2003 at the intersec-tion of SR 365 at Demorest, the
GDOT has expressed concern forfuture traffic volume.According to the study, “the
State Route 365 study area passesthrough parts of Hall andHabersham counties. Throughoutthe 1990s and early 2000s, bothpopulation and employmentincreased substantially in bothcounties. Population and employ-ment growth in Hall County hasbeen driven by Gainesville’s statusas a regional center for northeastGeorgia and the growth of metroAtlanta northward up I-985.Habersham County’s scenic beau-ty, rural ambiance and mild climateare contributing factors to its popu-lation growth. SR 365 also is a fac-tor because it provides accesssouthward to metro Atlanta.Current growth trends are expectedto continue, and population andemployment are forecasted toincrease in the future.”Eighty percent of the funding
for the $19.2 million, 20.996-mile-long resurfacing project comes

from the federal gas tax, with a 20 percentmatch in state gas tax.
Night MovesThe contract was awarded to C.W.
Matthews Contracting Inc. of Marietta, Ga.In business for 65 years, C.W. Matthews isprimarily an asphalt company, with 27plants, but also features a road division, con-crete division and does bridge work. Its jobon this project is to remove up to 8 in. (20cm) of damaged asphalt along 21 center linemiles/84 lane miles and put down three lay-ers of new asphalt — all before the contractcompletion date of June 30, 2012 … or ear-lier. Bill White, senior vice president of
asphalt construction, C.W. Matthews, saidthat the contractor imposed a Sept. 30, 2011,deadline on itself “because we can.”There are sound reasons for accelerating
the deadline. By finishing before winter,they avoid any weather issues that couldcomplicate work and scheduling. They’realso able to get the permanent striping downnow, without having to replace it in thespring. By getting as much permanent workcompleted as possible now, it adds a safetyelement for the schools in the area, Whiteadded.Eagerness to finish work in school zones
before students return to class in August mayhave contributed to the change in the sched-ule. Work hours have been lengthened tosave money and encourage the contractor tofinish the work as soon as possible, althoughPope explained that there are no incentivesor disincentives in the contract. Weather permitting, C.W. Matthews is
now planning to finish the entire resurfacingproject by Sept. 30, 2011. Assisting them inthat goal are subcontractors such as TonyCook Trucking Inc.; Detection EngineeringTechnology Inc.; Dills Trucking LLC; JoeDirt Hauling; K Ware Trucking Inc.; LaddTrucking; Powell’s Trucking LLC; andThompson Carriers Inc.Work is scheduled for both days and
nights during off-peak hours, weather per-mitting. “They can work days, except for peak
drive times in the morning for southboundand in the evenings for northbound,”explained Teri Pope, GDOT District OneNortheast Georgia communications officer,“but the contractor is choosing to worknights and weekends for now. This is theirchoice, not a requirement of the contract.”It was C.W. Matthews’ choice to work
nights, but lane closures scheduledovernights through June, which enabledsafer, more efficient work, made the decisionan easy one. Around-the-clock lane closureson select weekends in specific areas also dic-
tated the schedule. While one crew installedthe binder layer of asphalt from SR105/Historic US 441 to SR 197 during theday, another crew removed damaged asphaltand installed the base layer on the northernend of the project from SR 197 to the split atSR 17 and U.S. 441 during the overnighthours.Additional reasons that made night work
a better option include the fact that there’sless traffic disruption at night. “It’s a remote area,” White explained,
“but there’s still traffic to work around.”Weather is another factor to work around.
With 90 percent humidity and daytime tem-peratures in the 90s, the night shift becamemore appealing. “We’ve had some heat issues,” White
admitted. “We make sure our crews drinkplenty of water and Gatorade.” He indicated that the night shift became
the popular choice among workers. An aver-age of 15 C.W. Matthews employees can befound on site any given day, but that numberdoubles at night. The number of subcontrac-
tors triples from 20 during the day to morethan 60 at night. Not only are the crews more productive at
night, but the mix plants also are. C.W.Matthews is using material from two of itslocal plants.One weekend, in an effort to get one layer
of new asphalt down on the four throughlanes on 365 from Lula’s State Route 52 toAlto Mud Creek Road in Habersham, crewsworked all night. The plan was to finishnorthbound to Alto Mud Creek Road, thenswitch to southbound and work it back tostate route 52, explained GDOT DistrictEngineer Todd McDuffie, with crews work-ing each Friday, Saturday and Sunday nightfrom 5 p.m. through to 7 a.m. while one lanewas closed. The following week, againworking overnights, crews resurfaced themedian cross-over areas from 52 to AltoMud Creek.
Laying It DownThe work plan breaks the project into two
sections. The southern section is SR 52 to
Crane Mill Road; the northern section isCrane Mill Road to the split at SR 17 andU.S. 441. Although the original plan calledfor two work zones, with one lane in eachdirection closed each weekend, unexpectedstorms impacted the work plan, so the con-tractor decided to work around the clock tomake up for lost time. “We haven’t had a lot of rain,” White said,
“but it’s been untimely.” He added thatshowers seem to start at 6 pm, an hour afterthe crews begin work.Pope reported that by mid-August the
base was down on all four through lanesfrom SR 52 to Alto Mud Creek Road.Working in 3 mi. long work zones, crewshave averaged 2 mi. per night.
“They averaged 25 feet an hourduring the second week,” shenoted. A second paving crew was
brought in to expedite work, layingdown the second layer from SR 53to Alto Mud Creek Road while thefirst crew continued to removedamaged asphalt and replace thebase layer of asphalt at the mediancrossovers from SR 52 to Alto MudCreek Road, with the goal of com-pleting three crossover sections pernight.Material removed from the aging
roadway is hauled away for recy-cling, White reported, with 25 per-cent of it being re-used on the proj-ect. New material from the twolocal plants includes 108,000 tons(97,975 t) of 19mm for the bottomlayer; 105,000 tons (95,254 t) of12.5mm of polymer modified for
the second, middle, layer; and 49,000 tons(44,452 t) of open-graded friction coursemix for the top layer. The middle layer acts as a binder between
the base layer on the bottom and the smoothdriving surface layer, called the “topping.”Currently, Pope reported, crews have thebase layer of asphalt down on eight centerline miles of through lanes and are workingon the median crossovers. A second crew hasbeen brought in to start the binder layer,using pavers and MTVs from Rotech.As new pavement is laid, it will be at dif-
ferent heights until both lanes are completed,causing GDOT to issue warnings to drivers.Communication has been critical on thisproject, and includes a weekly meeting withthe contractor and construction supervisionstaff to discuss the project, brainstorm solu-tions and ensure that things are runningsmoothly.

C.W. Matthews Imposes Challenging Deadline on Itself
It’s a remote area, the contractor explained, butthere’s still traffic to work around. Two-way, 24-hour traffic volumes on SR 365 vary from a highof 31,000 vehicles per day on two sections in HallCounty to a low of approximately 18,000 vpd inHabersham County, where daily traffic peaks at29,500 vpd.
Material removed from the aging road-way, up to a depth of 8 in., is hauledaway for recycling, with 25 percent ofit being re-used on the project.
The night shift has become the popular choiceamong workers. An average of 15 C.W. Matthewsemployees can be found on site any given day, butthat number doubles at night. The number of sub-contractors triples from 20 during the day tomore than 60 at night.
