Acceleration and Deceleration Lane Project

The project involves the construction of acceleration and deceleration lanes along U.S. Highway 83 adjacent to the Public Health Facility access point in Webb County, Texas. The work includes the removal, widening, and reconstruction of approximately 1,500 linear feet of roadway shoulder, and the construction of acceleration and deceleration lanes totaling approximately 24,000 square feet. The project is intended to improve traffic operations and reduce potential conflicts between through traffic and vehicles entering or exiting the facility. Major work items include mobilization and project administration, traffic control, removal of existing flexible base materials, asphalt pavement milling and removal, placement and compaction of flexible base materials, application of tack coat, placement of Type “C” Hot-Mix Asphalt Concrete pavement, pavement striping and traffic markings, and shoulder widening and related roadway improvements. • Mobilization and project administration • Traffic control, barricades, warning signs, and traffic handling • Removal of existing flexible base materials • Asphalt pavement milling and removal (2-inch depth) • Placement and compaction of flexible base materials • Application of tack coat • Placement of Type “C” Hot-Mix Asphalt Concrete pavement • Pavement striping and traffic markings, including 4-inch white striping • Shoulder widening and related roadway improvements • All labor, materials, equipment, incidentals, and appurtenances necessary to complete the project
