Project Location: The project begins at the intersection of VT-106 and VT-11 in Springfield and extends westerly along VT-106 for approximately 3.224 miles to the intersection of VT-106 and VT-10 in Springfield.

Project Description: Work under this contract will include a pavement preservation technique called Hot In-Place Recycling (HIPR). This process heats the existing asphalt pavement, scarifies the top 1-1/2” and adds in a rejuvenating agent, then replaces the existing material in a reformed, smooth mat. HIPR provides benefit by rejuvenating the viscosity of aging asphalt binder, and well as removing surface cracking and rutting. To complete the process, the roadway will be paved with a 3/4" lift of Bonded Wearing Course to cap the HIPR treated pavement. Further, there will be some areas where the pavement will be fine milled to a depth of 3/4", then paved with a 3/4" lift of Bonded Wearing Course.

In addition to the pavement treatment and rail crossing above, guardrail will be repaired and replaced as necessary to maintain compliance with current standards. Finally, the project will perform some ditching work to aid in drainage throughout the limits.

Note: This project is part of a composite contract with the VT-10 and VT-11 paving projects in Chester and Springfield.
