Level 2-4 Roads

A road surface is maintained to standard when: The travel way is logged out, free of washboards, potholes, or other irregularities. The surface is smooth, compact, crowned or sloped to drain, without segregation of the surfacing materials. Suitable materials have been recovered and incorporated. Unsuitable materials have been removed. Ditches and road surface drainage structures function efficiently. Unpaved shoulders are shaped to provide a smooth transition from the paved surface and drain efficiently.

811.03 Location of Work

As specified on roads listed on the ROAD LISTING, SHOWN ON THE PLANS, OR as ordered by the Contracting Officer. Locations of weed-infested areas will be marked on the ground. Do not operate in the weed-infested areas unless ordered to do so by the Contracting Officer.
