Project Overview

Manatt’s is supporting improvements along a 9-mile stretch of Highway 22, including HMA widening, milling, and paving.

The project is designed to improve pavement quality and roadway safety through wider paved shoulders and rumble strips.

Our Approach

The project relied on coordinated production, material supply, and recycling efforts.

Asphalt is being produced at Manatt’s Moscow plant, while more than 25,000 tons of existing pavement are milled and hauled back to the plant for recycling into this and future projects. Wendling Quarries is supplying approximately 40,000 tons of aggregate needed for the work. Together, these efforts support the paving operation while making productive use of reclaimed materials.

Outcomes & Results:

Scope of Work:

The project includes highway widening, milling existing pavement, and placing new HMA paving along 9 miles of Highway 22.

Purpose:

The improvements are intended to enhance pavement quality and improve safety with paved shoulders and rumble strips.

Impact:

The updated corridor will provide improved roadway conditions for drivers traveling between Highway 70 West and Lone Tree.

Reception & Results:

The project demonstrates the coordination between asphalt production, milling, material supply, and recycling to support a major roadway improvement effort.
