Abstract

Drum mixed base and upper base mixtures were substituted for Bituminous Treated Base mix, section 2205 and Type B class 1 asphalt concrete, section 2204 on Winnebago county Project S-2583(2)--50-95. Actual mixing and placing operations began August 2, 1971 and were completed September 1, 1971. Project location description is as follows: On Secondary Road from SW corner Sec. 34-99-23 North 5 miles to U.S.69, all in Winnebago county. The cross-section design required the construction of a soil aggregate subbase, 6 inch Bituminous Treated Aggregate Base, and a 2 inch Type B Class 1 Upper Base course. Project length was5.115 miles. Approximately 24,081 tons of lower base mixture and 7772 tons of Type B base mixture were placed.
