JOINT TRIMMING

Effective: March 6, 2023

3. On the first lane to be paved, place the tack coat and new HMA surface course 6 in.

wider than the joint to be trimmed.

4. After surfacing the first driving lane and prior to cleaning and start of surfacing on the following lane or shoulder, mill off the extra 6 in. of new HMA surface to the joint location, per the typical sections. The milling equipment must be capable of producing a straight line. The depth of the milling must be controlled so as not to gouge the underlying binder lift. The intent is to create a vertical face at the joint and provide lateral confinement for the following surface course material. Skid steer mounted mills will not be allowed.

5. Clean and prepare the surface of the remaining shoulder or lane for HMA placement as per Article 406.05 of the Standard Specifications. The tack coat shall be sprayed the full width of the HMA shoulder or lane and also lapped onto the newly trimmed joint a distance not to exceed 4 in.

Section ((129&136)&4W)RS&SW

6. Placement of surface course at the trimmed joint shall require the compacted height of HMA to be exactly flush, or not more than 1/32 in. higher, than the adjacent lane to ensure the joint has sufficient material for adequate compaction and proper drainage.

During placement, the side plate of the screed shall not exceed 1/2 in. overlap onto the adjacent lane.

The milling of new HMA 6 in. extra width at the joint to be trimmed will be paid for at the contract unit price per square yard for HOT-MIX ASPHALT SURFACE REMOVAL – LONGITUDINAL

JOINT.

The additional tack coat will be paid for at the contract unit price per pound of residual asphalt for BITUMINOUS MATERIAL (TACK COAT) or POLYMERIZED BITUMINOUS MATERIAL (TACK

COAT).

The additional HMA surface course will be paid for at the contract unit price per ton for HOT-MIX ASPHALT SURFACE COURSE, of the friction aggregate mixture and Ndesign specified or POLYMERIZED HOT-MIX ASPHALT SURFACE COURSE, of the friction aggregate mixture and Ndesign specified. All other extra work will not be paid for separately but shall be included in the unit bid price of the various pay items and no other compensation will be allowed.

MAXIMUM DROP-OFFS BETWEEN ADJACENT LANES

(Effective April 21, 2023)

When the Contractor’s operations cause a difference in elevation greater than 1.5 in. (38 mm) for a vertical milled face or 2 in. (50 mm) for a lift of HMA resurfacing between adjacent lanes, the lane shall remain closed. The Contractor shall adjust his milling and paving operations so that all traffic lanes are open at the end of each work day.

To meet the above requirement, the Contractor shall:

Place the binder lift immediately following the milling operation before opening the lane to traffic or

Place a temporary wedge after the milling operations (minimum 1V:3H slope) or

Mill a sloped wedge between lanes (minimum 1V:3H slope).

When the difference in elevation between adjacent open traffic lanes is greater than 1 in. (25 mm) and less than or equal to 1.5 in. (38 mm) for a vertical milled face or 2 in. (50 mm) for an HMA lift, “UNEVEN LANES” signs (W8-11(FO)) shall be erected at 1-mile (1.6 km) intervals.

The above requirements were developed based on IDOT Safety Engineering Policy Memorandum 4-21. Any changes to the proposed lift thicknesses, milling depths, or sequence of operations that change drop-offs at the centerline or edge of pavement must follow this policy and be approved by the Engineer.

This work will not be paid for separately but shall be included in the cost of the applicable HMA surface removal pay items.
