E 563 Reconstruction

Revised on 10-07-2024

Reconstruction projects are those that require the removal of existing pavement and, where necessary, the supporting subsoil. Consideration of the following factors may help determine the justification for total or partial reconstruction.

Total reconstruction:
1. The street has a major or secondary status.
2. It would be economically unfeasible, or impractical from a construction standpoint, after removal of all the pavement that is in unsatisfactory condition, to warrant saving the remaining pavement.
Partial reconstruction:
1. A minor project or local street is involved.
2. Sufficient pavement would alter removal of unsatisfactory pavement to make it feasible, both economically and from the construction standpoint, to save the remaining pavement.

ln addition, the choice between partial or total reconstruction should be influenced by the fact that PCC pavement has a relatively greater permanency and a higher removal cost than AC pavement. Therefore, it would appear expedient to avoid total reconstruction of PCC-paved roadways.
