The $46.4 million construction project torepave I-271 in Summit County, Ohio, fromBroadview Road to the Ohio Turnpike wasstandard enough. Take a 50-year-old, 4.3-mi.(6.9 km) stretch of highway, including eightbridges and one culvert, and replace thepavement.

“The biggest challenge is maintainingtraffic flow on major interstates I-77 and I-271,” said Justin Chesnic, spokesman of theOhio Department of Transportation.

The first contract was bid in 2013 andwork is scheduled to be completed in July2017.

But as it turns out, the job may not bequite so typical after all — due to some inno-vative ideas on the use of equipment, as wellas a step toward solving a tricky problem ofbuilding a better asphalt joint.

Construction crews are keeping trafficmoving by using contraflow. “Basically, youare shifting lanes to the side,” said SavaGmitric, ODOT project manager. “Webeefed up the shoulder, and have one lane onthe shoulder and one on the right lane, then aconcrete barrier. You bring the southboundover and cross over on northbound side. Youhave three lanes on the northbound side, twogoing northbound and one going south-bound. Then you keep the other southboundlane on the south side. In essence, we havepermitted lane closures. It allows the con-tractor on very unpeak hours to take it downto one lane. During heavy traffic hours, wehave to maintain two lanes in each direc-tion.”

The process can make for someheadaches of its own. But Jim Allega, part-ner in the family-owned Anthony AllegaCement Contractor Inc., has devised means

The $46.4 million construction project to repave I-271 in Summit County, Ohio,from Broadview Road to the Ohio Turnpike was standard enough.

OAIMA Hosts Legislative ReceptionO

n May 3, the Ohio Aggregates & Industrial MineralsAssociation (OAIMA) held its annual legislative reception inthe Ohio state capitol rotunda immediately following the

association’s 18th annual board meeting, which was held in the OhioStatehouse stateroom. The legislative reception is a popular event,which provides an informal setting in which association memberscan meet with Ohio’s elected officials to share their thoughts regard-ing a variety of issues that impact Ohio’s aggregate industry.

Construction Crews Keep Traffic Moving Using Contraflowof making the work faster and more efficientthan ever.

“Allega has a lot of new equipment outthere,” said Gmitric. “There are a couple ofexcavators, graders, loaders. But what isreally interesting is how they use GPS outhere on their equipment. They actually tooka Polaris little quad and mounted the GPS onit and has it attached to a sprayer. It lays outall the striping through GPS and he lays itout in a hurry. Anything you need to lay out,you lay out with this. It’s very accurate, very,very efficient and fast.”

The contractor started working with GPSand robotics in 2000, said Allega. In the yearssince, they’ve become innovative in modify-ing the existing equipment to fit their needs.

“We do things other contractors don’t do,”Allega said. “I have a few patents on thingsthat give us a little edge. We use Trimblecontrols for GPS. All of our equipment isequipped with GPS and/or total station con-trols. What I’ve done is by taking a piece ofequipment and taking some Trimble andmodifying it, I am able to do all my lay outsand grade checking with that. In the old daysto lay out lines, you walked around with aTrimble piece of equipment that worked offthe satellite and a base station. With this

machine [I am in the process of patenting itright now], I can do the layout in 10 percentof the time with one man instead of a surveycrew. Striping, paving lines, there are somany things.”

Allega also has a device for moving cones

and barrels when opening and closing trafficzones every day.

“You have to go out there and pull the traf-fic control equipment out of the way,” Allegasaid. “I came up with a device a few yearsago where I can move the barrels and either

set up or tear down — something that wouldtake five or six hours with three guys — withone man in 20 minutes. We were doing eightmile zones, set up and tear down every day.The main body is a Polaris Brutus. We have

Association Members Voice ConcernsAbout Senate Bill 57, Other Issues

During the reception, associationmembers spoke with Ohio’s lawmakersabout land use and zoning issues, voicedtheir concern about Senate Bill 57, whichcould negatively impact aggregate trans-portation, and expressed their support ofSenate Bill 315 and other efforts to fundinvestments in Ohio’s infrastructure.

a couple at work all over the place.”Working with ODOT’s District 4 team,

Allega also has helped come up with a betterasphalt joint.

In typical asphalt paving, you roll it out, andyou do not have a perfect edge and that materi-al, when you pave for width, can overlap thejoints and that gives it structural integrity so itdoesn’t crack,” said Allega. “With contraflow,you can’t do that because you have traffic onone side.”

“We tried two different methods. We milledoff eight to 10 inches of asphalt, then put thenext layer in, paving up against the confinedjoint. When we pave the first lane, switch traf-fic over and come back to pave next layer, wewill remove about 10 inches of that asphalt thatis loose. We clean it and tack it properly. We notonly tack it, but use an asphalt adhesive in thatjoint. I started using it 20 years ago. On thisjob, we have zero center line cracking. Zero.That even impressed me. That’s hard to do.”
