PORTLAND CEMENT CONCRETE RESURFACING OF AN OLD CONCRETE PAVEMENT IN GEORGIA

DURING 1947 THE GEORGIA STATE HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT RESURFACED A 4.1-MILE SECTION OF PORTLAND CEMENT CONCRETE PAVEMENT THAT HAD BEEN IN PLACE ALMOST 25 YEARS. AS A CONSIDERABLE PORTION OF THE OLD ROAD WAS ON DESIRABLE GRADES AND STILL IN REASONABLY GOOD CONDITION, AND MUCH OF THE PAVEMENT AS POSSIBLE WAS UTILIZED BY BUILDING A CONCRETE RESURFACE. IT WAS POSSIBLE FOR THE CONTRACTOR TO PERFORM THE WIDENING, RESURFACING, AND CONSTRUCTION OF NEW SECTIONS IN ONE CONTINUOUS OPERATION UTILIZING THE SAME CONSTRUCTION METHODS. /AUTHOR/
