§ 146-450. Restoration of concrete streets.  


Latest version.
  • In the case of concrete pavement roadway, the following shall be required when restoring all cuts regardless of size:

    (1)

    The concrete on a finished concrete roadway or pavement foundation shall have a compressive strength of at least 4,500 pounds per square inch at 72 hours. Concrete sidewalks shall have a compressive strength of at least 3,000 pounds per square inch at 28 days.

    (2)

    On streets with a concrete base or full-depth concrete paving, dowelling in the existing concrete pavement shall be employed.

    (3)

    The pavement must be restored by replacement of the full concrete panel(s) in which the cut or part of the cut is made, unless otherwise directed or approved by the director of the department of public works or his designee. A panel is defined as a homogenous section bound by full original construction joints on each side.

    (4)

    If the extent of the cut(s) and subsequent pavement restoration is 75 percent or more of the pavement surface area of the street block in which the cut was made, the entire street block from intersection to intersection shall be repaved, unless otherwise directed by the director of the department of public works. For purposes of this determination, the restoration of one or more separate cuts made within a 12-month period shall be considered as one combined restoration effort.
