New Bituminous Paver Bought For Athens County
The Athens County engineer's department bought a $22 000 bituminous paver from Hetherington and Berner Co and showed it to the county board of commissioners. The machine mines its own paving material and blends tar or asphalt at the mixer before laying it down. Dowler says the paver will be used on county roads weather permitting, as the new depot on E State Street near the Ohio University Airport nears completion by May 1.
