Well the Horsefly road has had some work done on it from roughly the Jessica Lake Rd into Horsefly. It certainly is an improvement, BUT, does the cost of the work justify the method? I believe the technique they used is called "Hot in place replacement" or something to that affect.
A couple of comments: 1. There did not appear to be any prep work done prior to the procedure taking place. eg. There has been a bad section, the bump signs are still up, near Jessica Lake Road. Now that section has been like that for at least 10 years if not longer. Every spring the road heaves which causes breaking up resulting in a rough patch being placed on it. Now this tells me there is something going on under the surface. This was just paved over which I suspect we will see the results of next spring. 2. The lift was, I suspect, the exact thickness of the existing surface. Being nice and fresh it will be interesting to see how it will stand up to the tri-axle overloaded logging trucks which I see on it already.
It would be interesting to see the numbers on this project. In the mean time enjoy it while it lasts.
