Mackville Road Reconstruction Project
Hardwick, VT
Mackville Road provides access to many residential properties and serves as the main gateway to Mackville Village. Mackville Road has been a treacherous section of roadway due to poor conditions. Poor subgrade materials and inadequate drainage in many locations were large contributing factors to the deterioration of the road.
The Mackville Road Reconstruction project incorporated both reclaimed road reconstruction and full depth road reconstruction methods. The project’s original design was for 3,850 lf of full depth road reconstruction including 18 inches of gravel, drainage improvements and 4 inches of asphalt. Due to funding constraints, DG worked closely with the Town to develop alternatives for full and partial depth reconstruction methods.
Storm drain system modifications included rehabilitating existing catch basins, installing new catch basins, installing new 18-inch HDPE culverts, and installing stone check dams along the roadway.
