County roads deteriorating despite good construction County engineer James Britnell told members of Huron County Council meeting Friday morning in Goderich that three roads in the county road system are developing fairly extensive pavement cracks despite the fact that all three projects were constructed in accordance with the best known road construction methods and practices. Britnell advised council that all three roads were constructed in 1968 and paved in 1969 with a one and a half inch lift of hot mix pavement 20 feet wide in accordance with revised department of highways standards for road surfaces. The 13rucefield-Varna road (county road 3) was constructed by contract as Development Road 899 by George Radford Construction Ltd., and was under constant supervision by the DHO and consultants' staff during construction. County Road 12 (Wroxeter South) and County Road 30 ( Ford wich South) were constructed in the same years by county forces with county supervision. The first signs of cracking were noticed in November of 1969, The pavement cracking became worse as the winter went on and was of two types — a longitudinal crack running along the pavement from six inches to 24 inches from the edge, and a circular crack 12 inches to 24 inches in diameter mainly in the wheel tracks. "At our request the DHO materials and Testing Branch carried out extensive testing on all three projects in the spring and summer of 1970," Brrtnell explained to council. "The report states that in their opinion the main reason for cracking was frost action on the pavement since no other reason for failure could be determined in all the exhaustive tests carried out." "Senior engineers have stated that they would not recommend a single change in the depth or the type of material or the construction method used in 1968 or 1969 if we were starting to build any of these three sections today," concluded Britnell. Reeve Ed. Oddliefson of Bayfield suggested the narrower pavement width determined by the department could have something to do with the increase incidence of cracking. "Also from a safety standpoint," said Reeve Oddliefson, "a narrow road is not quite as safe. People have become used to a wider road. All of a sudden we narrow it and I think we're increasing the possibility of accidents." Anson McKinley, Stanley, wondered if the road bed was also narrower or if it was only the road surface that had been narrowed. He learned that the road bed had been narrowed alright, but that cracking had occurred in the middle of thk, pavement as well as the edges, discounting McKinley's theory that a broader base was the answer. "Every time we think we have an answer something else c omes up to prove we're wrong, said Britnell, "We're very concerned about it." Britnell also told council all cracks had been waterproofed in an attempt to prevent additional heaving. John Flannery, Seaforth, questioned the wisdom of using so much salt. "We're doing our best to train our men when it is best to salt the roads," answered Britnell, "bu t we'll never be right all the time. There will always be a time when you have egg on your face because human judgement is such an important factor. By MRS.
