Burlington Streets: Intervale
Image nop
    • Date Created: 1946-06-29 00:00:00
    • Description: June 29, 1946. Burlington Street Department - Burlington, Vermont. Intervale Road - Asphalt Stabilized base and Armor Coat Wearing Surface. This view taken from the intersection of Riverside Ave. looking northerly toward the railroad track shows the mixing process while constructing the stabilized base using asphalt emulsion (XRM) as a binder. The materials used for aggregate on this job was road gravel hauled from the Lunderville Pit in the town of Williston last October (1945) and spread approximately 28 feet in width over the entire section from Riverside Ave. to the railroad crossing, a distance of approximately 875 feet. Note the Allis-Chalmers Power Grader mixing the gravel after the asphalt emulsion had been applied by pressure distributor. The Armor Coat Wearing surface was constructed directly after the stabilized base had been completed. This is a very economical type of paving, especially where a cheaper grade of materials can be used and the location does not demand a higher type of pavement.

                      • Date Created: 1940-11-21
                      • Description: Photograph dated Nov. 21, 1940. Original caption reads: North Avenue Concrete Paving Project. This view shows the completed pavement at the intersection of North Avenue and Plattsburg Avenue. Note that the concrete pavement continues around the curve onto Plattsburg Avenue for a short distance to aid through traffic in staying on the main highway. The intersection was further improved by constructing an asphalt penetration base with plant mix wearing surface and asphalt curbs for a short distance out North Avenue beyond the concrete pavement and on the radius at the intersections of these two streets beyond the little island around the electric light post in the center of the picture.
