Road Work Continued

Here's an update on the up-grade of the county road.

Seems that the crusher mulcher machine that was run down the road last week was indeed used to recycle the old road into a base for a completely new road.

After munching-up the old road into a loose base the county decided to let everyone and everything drive on it for a week.  Compacting it.  Then they rolled over it with road graders and other heavy machinery - compacting it further.


Then they ran an asphalt paving machine over the base (constructed from the previous road surface) and laid and rolled-out a very nice and smooth surface.




I would be willing to bet that this is the best that this road has looked since it was a dirt track a hundred years ago.  I cannot wait to ride my bicycle on this.  There's nothing like riding your bike on new asphalt.

It's also going to be a nice match with the new asphalt driveway that is scheduled to be constructed.

No more gravel from the plow in my yard or stones in the house.
