Still more about Town Line Road: Surface was watered during construction

Town Line Road east of Highway 52

In the wake of a number of reader comments about the condition of Town Line Road during this summer's construction, Keith Bruening from Bruening Rock Products has sent this e-mail:

"We did have a water truck every day haul on this road.  We did this for safety reasons.  The truck hauled ALL day.  I would guess we hauled an average of 5 loads a day!!  The trouble is, it's water, so it takes a lot to keep the dust down. 

We hauled approximately 13,000 tons of material to Highway 52.  It took about 5-6 days, so there would have been pretty busy truck traffic every day.  The material was used for the shoulders, and it came out of our Hovey Quarry.

This road would be a great place for macadam road construction.  It's an economical way to control the dust, but also gets the road ready for paving!"
