The project included a 2” mill and overlay, with curb ramp removal and replacement. A total of 10K tons of reinforced SMA, which included a 2K ton test section of reinforced SMA with aramid fibers that was part of an ongoing CDOT study. Brannan Ready Mix supplied the concrete for 4 raised colored concrete medians between Mississippi and Monaco. Both CDOT and City of Denver traffic control restrictions required the milling and paving to be done at night, which in conjunction with the City of Denver’s noise ordinance after 10 p.m., required Brannan to implement a variance. Since this project started shortly after the Covid-19 pandemic began, there were a lot of extra safety precautions taken by everyone involved. The judges rated this project high in complexity and difficulty noting “very high traffic and many access points made this project difficult and tough to control”. Brannan is very proud of our team for this project and the hard work and commitment they gave to this project, especially with some of the obstacles they faced.
