	Road Work Ahead (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		We are working with the State in its planned reconstruction of the road, and then the Town will take ownership of the roadway.
		The resulting “micro surfacing” work, which was performed over the summer, is an interim measure which will help preserve the roadway until planned redesign and reconstruction efforts can be undertaken in the next decade.
		In order to ensure a long life for the road, it is critical that water be removed from the roadway as quickly as possible and not be allowed to linger on the surface.

		The county projects included 15 miles of resurfaced roads, three miles of rebuilt or remodeled roads, two miles of paved gravel roads, and the application of 60,000 tons of limestone and 40,000 tons of natural agate on gravel roads.
		Road construction in Brighton was $1.4 million, comparable to several past years, with the most dramatic change being the addition of county's first roundabout intersection, a $230,000 project to improve traffic flow at 3rd and Main streets in the downtown business district.
		"Work on local streets was suspended this year because of the funding issues with state revenue sharing cuts," said Jeff Prince, the city of Howell's engineer.

	Monthly Labor Review: Fatal occupational injuries at road construction sites
		Work zones include construction, maintenance, and utility work on a road, street, or highway." The Federal Highway Administration's Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices gives this definition, "A work zone is an area of a highway with construction, maintenance, or utility work activities.
		All records in which the source or secondary source of the fatal work injury, as classified by the Occupational Injury and Illnesses Classification System, was construction, logging, and mining machinery (codes 3200 to 3299) and where the fatality occurred on a roadway were examined.
		These different applications of the code may skew the data; that is, the increase in fatal work injuries at road construction sites over time may be partly due to the more rigorous application of the location code in the latter years of the study period.

		Before the road construction was compacted, giving the tribe its allotment of federal dollars directly for locally run projects, the BIA crews would work off a list of projects that could be several years old, Rosette said.

		Sections of road near new housing developments at Bonneauville, Prairieview and the Box Elder water tank site were also repaved, and crews are working on improving school bus turnarounds and creating an access road for the new health clinic and wellness center, which are both still under construction, Rosette said.

	Halfbakery: Faster road work (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Road work causes congestion by lowering the capacity of a stretch of road (for a period of time).
		In congested areas such as road work, the added traffic naturally slows the average speed, regardless of the posted limit.
		Works fine if you model cars as gas molecules, a little more tricky if you can only guide rather than control the movement of individual cars.

	Basehor Sentinel: Council discusses road work
		In the end, the package council members favored was improving the road to 28 feet wide with six inches of rock and four inches of asphalt.
		City officials said approximately $150,000 of excise tax money could be used toward paying for the road as well as another $40,000 from the Hollingsworth Estates development, which has been required by the Basehor Planning Commission to put money toward the road's improvement.
		Before moving forward with the project, Basehor officials are researching an interlocal agreement with Leavenworth County, which currently owns Hollingsworth Road right of way, and researching a cost analysis of the area to learn whether revenue generated from the area is enough to pay back a loan possibly needed for the road improvements.
