New Type Road Construction Tried On Highway 25
A new experimental road surface is being laid on Highway 25 from Milton to Alito. After levelling, gravel is spread then coated with calcium chloride spray. Graders mix the gravel with calcium, then lay it evenly as a top surface. Drainage spots are corrected before finishing. A rock crushing unit operates at Speyside to prepare material. The method aims to keep traffic moving and reduce dust.
