Description
The repair of Ward Street involved full depth removals in localized areas and a 2” FORTA-FI® reinforced ARHM cap. During the design phase of the project, alternative structural sections incorporating Mechanically Stabilized Aggregate and Fiber Reinforced Asphalt were evaluated for the full depth removal areas. FORTA-FI® was added to reduce thickness for immediate cost savings. In addition, FORTA-FI® reinforcement was added to the ARHM cap for longevity.
