Top right, asphalt is laid along La. Hwy. 35 between Branch and Rayne recently as a line of trucks loaded with asphalt material are staged to load into the equipment. Chuck McAdams, with Glenn Lege Construction, said that between 1,000 - 1,300 tons of asphalt are laid each day, weather-permitting, as the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development project to resurface a 6.82 - mile section of the highway continues. Bottom right, McAdams tests the density of just-laid asphalt on the roadway while, bottom left, a pair of asphalt rollers are used to compact freshly laid asphalt. The repaving work is part of a $8.2 million Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development project that includes drainage structures, milling asphaltic concrete, pavement patching, asphalt concrete overlay, striping and related work.
