A surface course roadway project completed 30 days early!
Originally built in part during 1963 and the early 70’s, Central Ave. and 175th Street consists of full-depth roadways that were last resurfaced in the late 80’s.
By 2006, although the base pavement remained sound, the surface course had begun to deteriorate and required resurfacing. Cook County, along with their consultant S.T.A.T.E. Testing, developed a modified verison of recycled ground tire rubber (GTR).
In the spring of 2007, Gallagher Asphalt was the successful bidder on the project and completed the project 30 days early.
Cook County declared Gallagher Asphalt Cook County Contractor of the Year 2007 for the project.
