Improved maintenance method for gravel roads in Michigan
Mr. A J Burridge of the Michigan State Highway Department outlines a gravel road maintenance system for 1200 miles. Removes oversized stones, uproots peak crown, blends gravel with 8–12 percent clay, uses deep harrow work, and seals with Dowflake calcium chloride to preserve moisture and reduce dust. The program emphasizes continuous application, patched areas, and constant moisture control to prevent ruts and pockets while improving drainage and road life.
