Overall Pavement Condition : The ride was less than satisfactory. There was extensive cracking.

Overall Treatment Condition : There was extensive block and transverse cracking. Most oftbe cracks were open with slight ravelling along the edges. The was a lot of longitudinal cracking at the centerline. 1/8 inch ruts in the left wheel path and 1/4 inch ruts in the right wheel path were measured north of 102 Tb.

Shoulder Type: Bituminous Width (ft.): 3&9

Year Last Improved: 72/89 ADT: 23000-27000 %Commercial: 13-15



Overall Pavement Condition : The ride and overall pavement condition were satisfactory.

Overall Treatment Condition : The longitudinal centerline joint and the edge line joint were not sealed with Micro-Surface mixture. Both of these longitudinal joints were open. Transverse cracks have retlected through the Micro-Surface. The spacing ofthe cracks is approximately fifty feet. Most ofthe transverse cracks are single cracks with a minor amount of secondary cracking and slight crack ravelling. The majority of the cracks were 1/4 inches wide or less. Most of the transverse cracks extended across the full lane width. The following rot depths were measured ; 1/8 inch WB at mile post 139, 1/2 inch and 1/4 inch WB west ofEhn Rd. and 1/4 inch EB at Cooper Rd.

Year Last Improved : 69/89 ADT: 20500-23500 % Commercial : 2



Overall Pavement Condition : Both the ride and overall pavement condition are good.

Overall Treatment Condition : The surface looks uniform and tight. There was no loss of mix. Several cracks have retlected through the Micro-Surface. Most cracks are tight. There is some secondary cracking at the transverse cracks. No ravelling was observed. The longitudinal joint line was sealed. The cracks in the NB lanes have been sealed by the overhand method. Generally, the underlying cracks have come through the overhand seal. The longitudinal cracks that were sealed are performing better than the transverse sealed cracks. No rutting was measured in the SB outside lane at Manorwood Rd. 1/8 inch ruts were measured in the outside NB lane at Chamg Cross Rd.

General Comments : No Micro-Surface mix was placed on any ofthe auxiliary tum lanes.

Overall Pavement Condition :The ride and overall condition were satisfactory.

Overall Treatment Condition : This fix is experiencing a lot of cracking. Most ofthe cracks are open transverse and block reflective type cracks spaced about ten feet apart and less than 118 inch wide. They are a single type crack with slight ravelling. At the center line, there is a ragged open crack about the entire length ofthe project. No rntting was observed or measured at Vasser Rd. or Bradleyville Rd. The texture of the Micro-Surface was uniform and was adhering to the underlying pavement. The shoulder was is satisfactory condition with some edge cracking.

General Comments: This section ofM-46 may have been too distressed for a MicroSurface fix.
