The Nebraska Department of Roads (NDOR) commissioned the repair of a 24-foot wide, 100-foot long section of Highway 6 near the intersection with Giles Road. This area of poured concrete road had settled 1.5 inches at its mid-span, creating a dip or sag in the highway that affected both ride quality and safety. Voids were also likely beneath the pavement at the joints. The NDOR specified that the concrete be lifted back toward level, voids be filled between the pavement and subgrade, and the entire project be completed in one day to minimize traffic disruption and inconvenience to the public. Although restricted, traffic flow had to continue throughout the project duration.
