I was wondering why there are two different surface materials used in the construction of the new lanes on the 405 Freeway in Orange County. It makes for a rough ride in the areas where the two surface types adjoin. I’m sure it’s a common practice, but I’ve just noticed it on the 405 in the Fountain Valley/Westminster area with the recent completion of the freeway widening.The ol’ wise one enjoys guiding the Honkmobile on a ribbon of pristine black asphalt, with white lane lines glistening.
To provide sufficient traction, the concrete has groves while asphalt doesn’t need them. Plus, there are joints between the concrete slabs.It costs more to put in concrete lanes, although in the end they are less expensive. Typically, the price tag to rehabilitate a single, aging concrete lane for one mile is $250,000, Caltrans says. For a lane mile of asphalt, it’s $450,000.
