Intersection Upgrades - White Topping
68 Street and 48 Avenue
39 Street and 48 Avenue
Last Modified Oct 19, 07
Project Profile:
The left turn lanes at these intersections on 48th Avenue are showing signs of distress due to larger than normal truck turning movement. The City of Camrose Engineering Department is suggesting that a "white topping" concrete inlay be installed.
The City of Camrose has used the "white topping" construction technique at other locations on 48th Avenue with good success, most notably the left turn lane off 48th Avenue at 51 Street (Co-op Hill). For more information about this, please read this article on the Cement Association of Canada website.
The construction involves the removal of approximately 100mm of the asphalt pavement and the installation of a modified concrete mix specifically designed for this purpose.

The design and site supervision of this project will be conducted by the City Engineering Department.
Contractor:
Branco Concrete was awarded the contract for this project.
Budget and Funding:
This project is estimated to cost $80,000.
Schedule:
