Iowa Overlay: Concrete on asphalt overlay upgrades farm-to-market road

Oak Crest Hill Road South East in Johnson County, Iowa, appears to be just a typical farm-to-market secondary road. But being one of 11 Iowa highway “stimulus” projects worth, in total, $13.7 million, makes it a little less ordinary. So does its new surface. The unbonded concrete pavement overlay of Oak Crest Hill Road from south of the city limits of Hills to the Washington County line was a nearly $1.845 million job completed by Iowa City, Iowa-based contractor Metro Pavers and funded through the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act (ARRA), more commonly known as “the stimulus.” Iowa received nearly $358 million for state and local roadway, bridge, trail and freight rail projects through the stimulus, and Governor Chet Culver’s I-JOBS initiative kicked in $115 million for transportation projects. The Oak Crest Hill Road concrete overlay covered two lanes and spanned approximately 5.5 miles from start to finish. The county required traffic to be maintained in one direction at all times, says Nick Kempf, co-owner of Metro Pavers.,Oak Crest Hill Road South East in Johnson County, Iowa, appears to be just a typical farm-to-market secondary road.
