Road reconstruction

While browsing through my computer I've found some pictures of road that we were reconstructing about 5 years ago. So I said to myself that those pictures wouldn't be bad to post on this blog. So here they are below.

Before the reconstruction the road was in very very poor condition. Old asphalt was cracked so badly that you could barely driven it with a bit lower car. So the municipality decided to build a better road for their citizen =)

Old asphalt was thrown out, we made a new drainage, build a sidewalk, we hardened the road and layed new asphalt surface. Plus many other smaller things that you really can't predict before the work doesn't start.

So here are some pictures during construction:

New drainage

New shafts

Shaft for drainage with a cost iron lattice

Replacing "foundation" of the road

Loading the last truck with a non-load bearing floor

Concrete curb for a sidewalk

Laying curbs

Finishing the road before laying asphalt



Now after 5 years road is exactly in the same condition as it was at the first day when it was reconstructed. And in that condition should stay for many more years/decades.
