Model Dirt Road Exhibit At Ames Demonstrates 26 Foot Width
A Ames demonstration under the state highway department showed a three mile dirt road south of Ames converted into a hard surface dirt highway. A ten ton Caterpillar tractor and a leaning wheel grader built the 26 foot wide surface with side ditches and minimal crown for drainage. Officials say the road can support traffic without rutting and dust can be controlled with oil, offering a comparable ride to concrete pavements. State, county and township engineers attended. this was the first such display in Iowa. Years may pass before primary roads are concrete, but the model road could inspire modernization of dirt roads.
