226: Pavement Reclamation at Rock Hill

This project addresses a pressing need on Rock Hill Road, which extends approximately 10.8 miles from US 331 (SR 83) to SR 81 in eastern-central Walton County, Florida. The project focuses on the full-depth pavement reclamation, milling, resurfacing and construction of a 5-ft. paved shoulder with a sodded shoulder for the entire project length. The proposed typical section for Rock Hill consists of two 11-ft. travel lanes with a 5-ft. paved shoulder and a 2.5-ft. sodded shoulder that will remain normally crowned to match the existing typical section. 

We designed the site plan, including critical elements such as resurfacing the road, improving drainage, signage and roadway marking. Some persistent problems with the current road were heavy flooding and frequent accidents. Our primary goals were to provide an extension to the road, solve the problems of flooding, provide a cost-effective solution, and reduce the need for future work on the road. By resurfacing the road, we significantly improved the quality of life and safety in the area.
