State Route 519 2-Year Update
Project Description
The Kentucky Department of Transportation (KDOT) began a Control vs Fiber test on State Route 519, off US 60, on Baldridge Road using Surface-EXT AR glass fiber. Before the application, the road was crack sealed and previously had two different applications applied to it before the micro surfacing. Both sides of the road were similar in existing.
Update
2 years after utilizing Surface-EXT in this micro-surfacing application, the control side has significant cracks that have doubled while the Surface-EXT side have only increased by 30%. If this cracking trend continues, the moisture intrusion damage will be evident in the next few years
