Glade North Road is a principle, north-south farm-to-market route in Franklin County. This major arterial roadway links the northwestern region of Franklin County directly to the City of Pasco. Glade North Road is located west of SR-395 and more or less parallels the state highway for 23 miles with numerous east-west county roads connecting Glade North to either SR-17 or SR-395. The road has been serving the County’s citizens since the late 1800’s; providing access to Basin City, Merrill’s Corner, and Adams County via county arterial roads.
The proposed project will address the most northerly one (1) mile section of Glade North Road that accesses directly into Basin City. This section of roadway is deteriorating rapidly and past its useful life. Besides basic repair and maintenance, the road has not been improved in 65 years. Cost have escalated due to both a substandard base and a roadway not constructed to support the traffic load that it now carries of over 2000 ADT with 32% truck traffic. Besides not being structurally sound, other deficiencies to this section of roadway is narrow roadway, edge cracking, longitudinal, transverse, and alligator cracking.
The proposed scope of work will be the use of a full depth reclamation (FDR) with a base stabilization method and an HMA overlay to prevent further deterioration of the existing roadway. In addition to the pavement rehabilitation, proposed improvements to the corridor is widening the roadway to a minimum of 34’ wide – minimizing right-of-way takes and utilities relocation, but adding an additional 8’ of width to the road. In addition, a proposed safety improvement of adding turn lanes at two (2) intersections will be considered. The project will create the beginning of an all-weather route starting from the north end of Glade North, prolong the life of the roadway, improve ride, and enhance safety.
