Description

Substandard and unprofessional engineering and construction

here you can see the where the resurfaced road meets the old road edge that the town euphemistically calls the sidewalk. the road edge is in an advanced state of decay and the resurfaced road should be bonded. the engineering decision to not resurface all including the last few feet insured that the two surfaced would not remain bonded together.

also depicted are then break in the bond between the cut area where the asphalt was removed to replace the water main and the resurfaced area.

also depicted by age, oldest surface work to newest

cracks and settlement in the very old road edge pavement euphemistically called the sidewalk by the town.

cracks and settlement in the resurfaced roadway.

cracks and settlement in the patch to close the water main replacement.

the town got the poor job equal to the money spent. this summer Weston must be resurfaced with curbs like the rest of the area. more cold.patches will start to decay this winter.
