b) Patches 40 feet or longer shall have sawed contraction joints, in accordance with Standard 420001, at 40 feet maximum intervals and be in prolongation with joints or cracks in the adjacent lane whenever possible.

c) Centerline joints, transverse joints and saw-cut extension into stabilized shoulders shall be sealed in accordance with Article 442.06(j) of the Standard Specifications.

d) For patches on 11 feet wide lanes, the 18 inch dimension from the centerline to the dowel bars shown on Standard 442101 shall be reduced to 12 inches.

Undowelled Concrete Patches:

a) Longitudinal joints shall be as detailed on Standard 420001 except that the tie bars are not required for patches less than 20 feet in length. Existing tie bars shall be either cut or removed. Marginal bars shall be cut.

b) When patching two adjacent lanes in one operation, tie bars shall be included in the sawed longitudinal joint for patches 20 feet or longer.

c) Centerline joints, transverse joints, and saw-cut extensions into stabilized shoulders shall be sealed in accordance with Article 442.06(j) of the Standard Specifications.

Bituminous Patches: Existing tie bars shall be either cut or removed. Marginal bars shall be cut.

General Requirements:

a) The Contractor shall have the option of sealing joints on doweled or undowelled patches with hot poured joint sealer or with a 1¼ inches wide. Preformed elastomeric joint seal shall be placed in accordance with Article 420.14(b) of the Standard Specifications and as shown on Standard 420001, except for patches on ramps or pavements that are superelevated more than 3% where the hot poured joint sealer may not be used.

b) Saw cut extension into pavement that is to remain in place will not be permitted.

c) After the forms are removed from the patch but prior to opening the patch to traffic, the disturbed stabilized shoulder area shall be restored to the existing line and grade with material designated by the Engineer.

d) The final finish of the patch at the transverse edges shall conform to any existing longitudinal surface variations.

Patching Material: The Engineer will determine the patching code (A, B, C, D, A(Special) B(Special) or C(Special) for each patch and include this information in the written work order. It will not be possible for the Engineer to determine the patching code for continuous reinforced concrete pavement that has been previously resurfaced until the existing pavement has been removed.
