2020 Crack Sealing Program
Project:
2020 Crack Sealing Project
Town Contacts:
Stephane Cherduville, EIT, Public Works Engineer, Concord Public Works (CPW)– Engineering Division, 978-318-3210, scherduville@concordma.gov
General Contractor:
Indus Inc, Braintree, MA
Project Background:
The goal of the Town’s annual crack sealing program is to extend the life span of the existing roadway. Cracks naturally develop in asphalt due to oxidation and pavement deterioration. Crack sealing is important for a successful maintenance by preventing water from penetrating into the sub-base, which is a major cause of pavement failure.
Project Schedule:
The work will commence in July 2020, and more work may be done in fall of 2020 if funding becomes available.
Project Overview:
CPW has identified areas in town (click here for map) which will benefit from an application of crack sealing. The locations in the table below have been identified for the treatment:
Road | From | To |
Dalton Rd | Old Bedford Rd | Cul-De-Sac Loop |
Meriam Rd | Old Bedford Rd | 655’ W. Old Bedford Rd |
Birch Dr. | Bedford St | Ridgeway Rd |
Ridgewood Rd | Birch Dr | Ash St |
Nancy Rd | Bedford St | Powers Rd |
Lexington Rd | Old Bedford Road | Alcott Rd |
Heywood St | Lexington Rd | Walden St |
Elsinore St | Belknap St | Grant St |
Fairhaven Rd | Sudbury Rd | Rt 2 |
Bruce Rd | Fairhaven Rd | Cul-De-Sac Loop |
Macarthur Rd | Old Marlboro Rd | Main St |
Commonwealth Av | Bridge | Union Tk/ Rt 2 |
Prairie St | Main St | Brown St |
Harrington Av | Main St | Old Marlboro Rd |
Ministerial Dr | Harrington Av | Harrington Av |
Old Marlboro Rd | Harrington Av | Williams Rd |
Edgewood Rd | Main St | Hayward Mill Rd |
Scope of Work:
First all cracks will be cleaned to remove vegetation and other impediments to crack sealing. Cracks are then sealed using hot-applied rubberized joint sealant, and a light aggregate material is then applied to the hot rubber to improve adhesion to the pavement surface.
