[QUOTE="Rod Snell, post: 2587572, member: 796"] And from what I've seen of the construction done on HWY 62 in SW OK, OK allows pavement to be put on a base that would sink into the mud in TN the first spring thaw, and relies on relatively dry and warm conditions (and hope) to get it to last 5 years. I watched the section west of the Red being paved when the base was so wet the trucks were pushing bow waves in the SAND. Pouring concrete on a substandard base would be worse then asphalt. Germany built the autobahns on a 15" rock base, the US built the interstates on half that, and OK puts asphalt on 4" of sand sometimes. [/QUOTE]
