The Point: Sections of the 91 and 15 Express Lanes were replaced to enhance safety and travel
If you have recently traveled on the 91 and 15 Express Lanes, you may have noticed improvements to the roadway thanks to RCTC's recently completed slab pavement replacement project. As part of the toll program's ongoing maintenance efforts, several deteriorating slabs on the 91 and 15 Express Lanes were replaced to maintain safe and smooth roads.
Throughout November and December, a total of 61 slabs were replaced. These slabs displayed some cracking requiring replacement to prevent rapid deterioration and reduce roadway hazards. Construction crews cut out these existing slabs in segments, performing this work at night to ensure the safety of the crews and to reduce travel time disruptions. After the replacement slabs were in place, crews performed grinding and striping to ensure a smooth roadway.
These slab replacements provide a noticeably enhanced driving experience thanks to smoother pavement and profile grinding. This work also helps extend the life of the pavement, reducing the frequency of future repairs and lowering long-term maintenance costs.
Thanks to these improvements, motorists driving on the 91 and 15 Express Lanes can also expect more consistent and reliable travel times.
