Project Overview

Manatt’s completed large-scale asphalt removal work along six miles of southbound Highway 380 between Highway 30 and the Swisher exit as part of the corridor expansion from Cedar Rapids to Iowa City.

The Johnson/Linn County Removal project supported the conversion of Highway 380 from two lanes into a modernized three to four-lane roadway designed to improve traffic flow, capacity, and long-term safety.

Over the course of two construction seasons, crews removed approximately 260,000 square yards of existing pavement, totaling more than 108,000 tons of asphalt.

Our Approach

Manatt’s utilized high-production milling operations and coordinated equipment mobilization to keep the project moving efficiently across multiple phases.

The Asphalt & Milling Division deployed several of its largest milling machines throughout the project, including the W250i, W220i, W250Fi, and W220Fi.

With multiple mobilizations in and out of the corridor over two years, crews worked closely with vendor partner to coordinate schedules, maintain production, and support ongoing roadway reconstruction activities.
