Jackson County Roadway Recycling & Improvement Program A LONG-TERM VISION TO IMPROVE OUR COUNTY ROADS BY BUILDING ON A FOUNDATION OF RECYCLING
Let’s take a few minutes to…
…think about the future of our transportation infrastructure…
…our community vision…
…where we are today…
…and a possible solution.

After spending a lot of
money, time, and energy…
…pray it all holds
together!
Looking forward, what if…We stretched every dollar to build our roads to last longer than they do today?
A pothole caused us to launch an investigation as to the cause, with permanent repair to follow (like a cavity in a tooth)?
We could achieve a very good road system in the next decade? And an exceptional road system in the next 12-15 years?

What if……this was our average road?
What if…
…we didn’t have a multimillion dollar patching war every single year?
We have placed almost 600 tons over the last 2 weeks on only our county roads – by hand!
35 dump trucks13 semi loads
Patching and surface repairs now represent $8M - $10M per year – and rising!

What can we do?
This is a daunting and ominous problem.
How can we best serve our residents, organizations, businesses, and visitors?
There is a path forward…
It’s bold.
It’s new.
It’s innovative.
It’s environmentally responsible.
It’s sustainable
And, it’s proven.
Imagine…A 5-6 year-old road that looks like this……not one crack or defect. Anywhere.
Highway 23 in Ontario, Canada
Imagine…A 20 year-old road that looks like this…in Minnesota. How can this be?
Vs. TodayThis road is not even 20 years old.

Flexible Pavement Design Axle loading is critical
Each layer spreads the load more and more Axle weight, spacing, and truck speed are all critical factors Flexibility is important for the top layer
Asphalt gets brittle with age – “block cracking”
“It’s all about that base!”
Build our roads to last…
LEGO blocks…
This sample is something typically seen from a state highway here in Michigan…
But, it’s a local road!
How can we have a base like this on ourroads?
Recycle & Reuse what we have…
“There’s gold in them thar roads!”
Recycle & Reuse the resources we have…
The Recycling Process
Versatility:Milling vs. Recycling
The technology is here…
30+ years of research & development…
A lot has been learned.
Proven technology.
Preferred fix – especially in cold climates.
Performance is outstanding…
Versatility for almost all road needs…
1) Milling
2) Pulverizing
3) Repairing
4) Cold-in-place Recycling (CIR)
5) Full or Partial Depth Reclamation
Economics…Multiple pieces of equipment required to have an effective, high quality program:
$4.1-5.2M total investmentFinanced by an Installment Purchase Agreement
Cold-in-Place Recycler/Mill (full lane width) $1,488,000 Mobile Cold Recycling Plant $ 933,500 Preparatory Mill (2-5 ft. wide) $ 665,000 Transport Trailer $ 216,694 Roller – 18-ton Pneumatic $ 128,000 Roller – Steel Drum $ 148,000 Paver – Heavy duty screed $ 540,000
Water Truck, 50-ton haulers, tractors, cement spreader truck add $1.1M
Economics…Traditional cost of road reconstruction: $250,000 - $300,000 per mile
This method saves an average of 40-50%, or $100,000 per mile
It pays for itself after approximately 50 miles of road improvements
Looking long term, it will save $125 Million over a 50-year life cycle! *Not accounting for the time value of money (i.e., inflation)
Plus:70% to 80% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions and pollution
Less reflective cracking than any other method
Better roads – with a longer service life…and perpetually lower maintenance costs.
Closing ThoughtsA pothole should be rare.
A sustainable road improvement and perpetual care plan.
Our focus can shift towards what truly matters:
Making the Jackson County community safe, and helping it to
thrive as a great place to work, live, and play!

Animation of the Process
Florida Hot-Mix Asphalt Recycling: An Alternative
This hot-mix asphalt recycling project over an existing base showed early signs of distress
Plans are to Cold-in-Place Recycle it in the future, which will completely rejuvenate the base material
Comparison of Two Road Segments Constructed in 1999
Detroit Lakes, MinnesotaPhotos from 2012
4” Cold-in-Place Recycling with 3” HMA
Traditional 3” Mill and Overlay with 3.5” HMA
Only modest distress with crack sealing recently completed per expected, routine maintenance measures
Substantial surface deterioration, with heavy spray patching and other surface repair work evident
Minnesota Control SectionUS-59 in 2012 – 2-inch mill and 3.5-inch HMA overlay constructed in 1999
Minnesota Test SectionUS-59 – 4-inch Cold in Place, 3-inch HMA overlay constructed in 1999
Funding for Road Improvements
The 2015 Road Funding Package will continue to have an impact. Unfortunately, it’s not enough.
We estimate that we have a nearly half billion dollar problem in Jackson County alone to improve all roads over the next decade. That’s $40M to $50M required for construction each year.
We will only receive $21M in MTF revenue per year after 2021 for all operations. Federal and state grants will help; but local matching dollars are still required.
Meanwhile, patching costs are rising year after year. And our road conditions will continue to deteriorate. A vicious cycle.
