Project Details

King Asphalt recently completed the SC-153 N road construction project in Pickens County, South Carolina. This comprehensive undertaking aimed to enhance the SC-153 N roadway by implementing various improvements and upgrades.

The scope of work included the following essential tasks:

Shoulder Widening: The project involved widening the shoulder of the SC-153 N roadway, allowing for improved safety and better accommodation of vehicles.

8” FDP (Full Depth Patching): A total area of 5,900 square yards underwent 8-inch full-depth patching. This process addressed any underlying structural issues, ensuring a solid foundation for the subsequent layers of pavement.

2” Milling: Approximately 55,232 square yards of the existing surface underwent 2-inch milling. This step removed the worn-out asphalt layer, creating a smooth base for the upcoming overlay.

Surface C (Leveling & Drives): A total of 338 tons of Surface C materials were utilized to level the roadway and enhance driveways. This step contributed to a smoother driving experience and improved accessibility for residents and businesses along SC-153 N.

Surface B (Mainline): Approximately 6,075 tons of Surface B materials were used for the mainline paving. Surface B is known for its durability and resistance to wear and tear, making it ideal for high-traffic areas.

Borrow: A total of 278 cubic yards of borrow materials were utilized to fulfill the project requirements. Borrow materials are often used to supplement existing materials and ensure proper roadbed compaction.

Pavement Design: The project followed an 8-inch patching design and 2-inch uniform milling. Additionally, 220 pounds per square yard (PSY) of HMA (Hot Mix Asphalt) Surface B was used for the final pavement layer.

To minimize disruption to traffic, the project was carried out exclusively during nighttime hours, with lane closure restrictions from 8 PM to 6 AM. This approach allowed for efficient completion while minimizing inconvenience to motorists.

Some project highlights include:

Completion within approximately four weeks, showcasing King Asphalt’s dedication to timely project execution.

SC-153 N serves as a crucial connector road from I-185 in Powdersville, SC (Greenville County) into Easley, SC. The contracted section covered a distance of 1.39 miles and formed part of the 10-mile total stretch.

The roadway features a four-lane divided highway configuration with a grass median, nine intersections, six commercial drives, and one residential drive.

Through the successful completion of the SC-153 N road construction project, King Asphalt has enhanced the safety, functionality, and overall quality of this important roadway in Pickens County, South Carolina.
