What We Did


M-39 is a major commuter highway in Southeastern Michigan, running through numerous residential communities. When it was time to rebuild three miles of concrete between McNichols and Nine Mile roads, the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) required a very short production schedule and exacting noise control standards. The project also included reconstruction of 24 bridges and 77,000 cubic yards of concrete.

Ajax Paving was more than up to the task. Our crews performed exhaustive benchmarking for more than two months before construction began to ensure new noise levels would meet specifications. Also, sixty people worked seven days a week to ensure they met the open date mandated by MDOT.

The M-39 project was completed more than two weeks ahead of schedule and earned the Michigan Concrete Association's Award of Excellence in 2011.

On-Time. In Spec. On Budget.

Since paving its first road in 1951, Ajax has grown into one of the most trusted construction companies in Southeast Michigan and Florida, known for commercial concrete and asphalt services across the United States. Having completed over 14 million cubic yards of concrete on highways, runways, and more, Ajax combines decades of expertise with the latest technology, including stringless paving and advanced load-transfer systems, ensuring high-quality results in any work zone.

A state highway, an airport runway, and a racetrack surface each demand a contractor capable of self-performing the work—a large fleet of the latest construction equipment paired with the crews to run it. Ajax continues to set the standard for excellence in commercial concrete construction and remains the concrete construction services provider that MDOT, airports, and commercial clients across Michigan turn to first.
