Shannon & Wilson, Inc. prepared a Pavement Design Report for the TX FLAP UV CR203(1) Fish Hatchery Road in Uvalde, Texas, for HDR Engineering, Inc. The project involves reconstructing and widening CR 203 from a narrow single-lane to 24 feet, including drainage improvements. The report details subsurface explorations, laboratory testing, and pavement design recommendations, focusing on mitigating expansive soils, traffic loading analysis, and subgrade conditions. Recommended pavement sections include full-depth Asphalt Concrete Pavement (ACP), ACP over full depth reclamation (FDR) with cement, or ACP over cement-treated subgrade (CTS). The report also addresses corrosive soil conditions and outlines construction and material specifications, emphasizing proper subgrade preparation, fill placement, proof-rolling, and paving materials to ensure long-term performance and minimize maintenance.
The TX FLAP UV CR203(1) Fish Hatchery Road project involves rehabilitating 0.71 miles of County Road (CR) 203, widening it from 17 to 24 feet, and improving drainage. This includes replacing two existing culverts to meet Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) standards. Hydrologic analysis used Rational, USGS Regression, and TR-55 SCS methods, with a 25-year storm design. Culvert 48+33, with a 4 cfs design flow, will be replaced with a 24-inch equivalent culvert due to deterioration. Culvert 24+84, with a 1,025 cfs design flow, will be upgraded to a 36-inch culvert, necessitating a raised roadway profile. The project also introduces trapezoidal roadside ditches to manage water runoff. Overall, the improvements aim to enhance drainage and road infrastructure while maintaining existing drainage patterns within site constraints.
This addendum to the October 4, 2024, pavement design report for the Fish Hatchery Road reconstruction in Uvalde, Texas, addresses modifications based on discussions with the design team. The primary change involves raising the proposed access road grades to accommodate drainage swales, which are critical for long-term pavement performance, especially with expansive subgrade soils. Exhibit 1 illustrates the new 24-foot-wide roadway cross-section with drainage swales, ensuring free drainage for the crushed aggregate base (CAB) layer. The report provides revised pavement recommendations (Exhibit 2), including four alternatives, with Alternative 4 (3 inches of Asphalt Concrete Pavement overlying 7 inches of Composite CAB, Full Depth Reclamation, or ACP Millings) being the preferred choice due to Central Federal Lands' preference for reusing existing materials. This alternative requires the drainage swales. The addendum also details the flexible pavement design worksheet, outlining parameters such as pavement design life, traffic loading, serviceability, subgrade resilient modulus, reliability, and required structural numbers for Alternative 4. The original report's opinions and limitations remain applicable unless superseded herein.
