TRANSCRIPT
Before Clifton Interchange Carriageway, Issue with failing surfacing and poor ride quality at this important location linking the end of the Mersey Gateway Route to the M56. Potholes forming on the left hand wheeltrack.
After Clifton Interchange Carriageway.
Resurfaced the road to remove the potholes and improve the ride quality of the road. Geotextile was installed within the surfacing to strengthen the carriageway and help prevent future potholes forming
Before Fairfield Road, Issue was the road was an evolved construction which was no longer suitable for the weight of modern vehicles. This overloading of the structure created cracks and deformations leading to potholes. Previous works to improve the aesthetics had included micro surfacing which had helped improve the ride and seal the road to water ingress preventing pothole formation but only for a limited time, circa 8 years.
After Fairfield Rd
The road surfacing and old micro surfacing was completely removed and reconstructed to remove the existing potholes and ensure that the carriageway was fit for purpose to carry modern vehicles.
Before Liverpool Road
Main bus route linking Widnes to the City Region. Overloaded due to volume and type of traffic increasing over last 20 years.
After, Road completely reconstructed to strengthen the carriageway and help prevent potholes forming in the future.
Before, Speke Rd. Main route linking Halton to the City region, potholes in the heavily used lane 1, right hand wheeltrack. Existing surfacing was Thin Surfacing with a Surface Dressing overlay to maximise the lifespan.
Close up example of thin surface course failure with overlaid surface dressing in left hand wheeltrack
Lane 1 resurfaced with asphalt to remove the potholes and failing surfacing and improve the ride quality for the travelling public
