"Green" Roadway Rehabilitation Project on Airways AvenueAugust 24, 2010 - Back To News“Green” Roadway Rehabilitation Project on Airways AvenueA roadway rehabilitation project on Airways Avenue is scheduled to begin at approximately 7:00 a.m. Wednesday, August 25, 2010. The project is expected to take 5-6 days for completion and flagmen will be closing one lane at a time on Airways Avenue during the roadway rehabilitation. Traffic will be detoured as needed but delays should be kept to a minimum. Savannah/Hilton Head International has contracted Florida-based HIP (Hot In Place) Paving to use an environmentally friendly technology to complete the project. Hot in place paving involves heating and milling the existing pavement, mixing it with a rejuvenating agent and then relaying the recycled asphalt mixture. The process is better for the environment than traditional paving because it uses 75 percent less petroleum and is 90 percent cleaner in emissions. It is also faster than conventional paving operations and offers cost savings in labor and materials. During the roadway project passengers are reminded to arrive at the Airport 90 minutes prior to flight departure time. This is especially important for early morning flights, as extra time may be needed to park, check baggage and clear security. |
