Another season has come to an end and I am happy to say that we had very few incidents to report to Nancy.  The crews did a great job watching out for each other this past year.

     Our most challenging project this past year was on I80.  For our portable plant we started and ended the season working on this project.  Having to open up to both lanes of traffic by 6:00 A.M. on Friday morning made for a few late nights.  In a previous newsletter I laid out the particulars of the project, so I won’t go into them again.

     We also worked on Hwy 175 from Ellsworth to Hubbard, and in Hardin County in old Hwy 389 that was turned over to the county prior to us doing the project.  The other major project we did this year was up in Calhoun County.  I am proud to say that the company won a smoothness award for this project at the annual APAI convention, which was held the first week of December.

     This past season the crew laid 259,000 Ton of HMA and was done by the middle of October.  After we shut down the portable plant, the crew helped out the commercial crew finish up their work.  The season came to an end for most people around the middle of November.

     I hope that everyone will have a great holiday season and enjoy your time off because it isn’t that far off until another season will be upon us.  At this time, I don’t have good news about work for next year but I am confident that we will have some work to do when the time comes.

     In December we will be bidding on a project in Boone and Greene Counties on Hwy 30 and a county project in Chickesaw.

     We hope to come away from this letting with at least one of these projects.
