This 4.71-mile resurfacing project on I-75 consisted of a 2-inch thick overlay of the three travel lanes (north and south), a 2-inch thick overlay of on/off ramps, and a 2-inch thick overlay on the freeway shoulders. Two lanes were composite pavement, and one was concrete pavement. Over 53,000 lineal feet of pavement joint and crack repair was completed along with the installation of 45,918 tons of HMA. The project was completed within a nightly 8-hour time window that was strictly enforced.
Ajax earned incentives for mixture quality, mat density, and joint density. Michigan Department of Transportation ride quality requirements for single course overlays (without milling) resulted in a 25 percent improvement in ride quality. Because work was performed at night, traffic control and safety were of high importance.
If you’ve flown ‘in or out’ of Michigan or Florida, there’s a solid chance you’ve experienced our work firsthand. The same goes for many of the roads and highways in the midwest. Even if you don’t think you’ve driven on our work, there’s a good possibility the safety, drivability, and performance of your vehicle was tested on one of the many test tracks we developed for Ford, GM, and other manufacturers. Even NASCAR® trusts our quality results for their high-spec precision tracks. When we say ‘The Future is Riding on Ajax’... we mean it. Since 1951, we’ve had our hands in some of the most demanding and challenging paving jobs in the Midwest. We’re proud of the work we do and continue to operate guided by the same principles set in place by our founder Herb Jacob; Quality, Safety, and Productivity.
