Vermont Demonstration Project: Stockbridge-Bethel Roadway Reclamation Project

As a part of the HIghways for LIFE (HfL) initiative, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) provided a $1,900,000 grant to the Vermont Agency of Transportation for the Stockbridge-Bethel roadway reclamation project. The Stockbridge-Bethel project involved reclaiming the roadway that spanned 9.7 miles over VT RT-107 from the new through-truss bridge in the town of Bethel to Stockbridge, where RT-107 intersects VT Route 100. The work performed on this project included cold planing, reclamation of the existing roadway, base stabilization, superelevation and other minor geometric improvements, resurfacing with new base, intermediate, and wearing surfaces, new pavement markings, guardrail improvements, drainage improvements, and other incidental items. The project scope also included the construction of a new park and ride facility. The Stockbridge-Bethel roadway reclamation project included the use of the following technologies: Global positioning system (GPS) surveying equipment; GPS-equipped machine graders; Intelligent compaction (IC) equipment mounted on both dirt and pavement rollers; and Infrared thermal imaging equipment mounted on the back of the paver. These technologies helped with the real-time monitoring of roadway construction and served as important quality assurance tools to both the contractor and the resident engineer over the duration of the project.
