Portage County Ohio – In May of 2017, the residents of Brady Lake Village elected to dissolve the village resulting in Franklin Township becoming responsible for the maintenance of their roadways. The Road Superintendent of Franklin Township, was challenged with repairing the roadways which had been severely neglected over the years. The roadways were so deteriorated that signs were installed to warn drivers to “travel at your own risk”.
Due to the severe base deterioration and drainage issues, only two options were available to complete the project. Either, perform a complete milling of the road and install better drainage (which would result in a significant investment) or find a miracle product that will remain flexible to ensure no cracking and performs well in wet conditions. A simple product demonstration convinced him that HEI-WAY’s high performance cold mix asphalt was the product that would help to resolve his project challenges. Initially, he intended to use HEI-WAY material for patching purposes however, once he observed how well it performed, he inquired about the material’s paving capabilities.
He was convinced that paving with HEI-WAY material, utilizing a drag box, would be the most efficient and cost-effective way to complete the revitalization of these roadways, saving the Township over $500,000 from their original estimates. With a crew of four (approximately a crew of 10 would be required to pave with hot mix), he and his team were able to complete all road base repair and paving in a few short weeks. Thanks to the hard work of the Franklin Township road crew, the Brady Lake Village roadways are now safe for motorists to drive on and accessible for winter maintenance. There is no need for the “travel at your own risk” signs anymore!!
