656.3.05 Construction
Remove pavement markings before changing the traffic pattern. This specification does not relieve the Contractor of the responsibilities in Section 150 or Subsection 107.07. Utilize blasting, such as sand blasting or water blasting, grinding, or other approved methods to completely remove pavement markings without materially damaging the pavement surface or texture. Repair (at the Contractor’s expense) damage to the pavement or other surface from removing the markings. Use repair methods acceptable to the Engineer. A. Blast Cleaning Do not allow sand and other debris to accumulate and interfere with drainage or create a traffic hazard. 1. When blast cleaning within 10 ft. (3 m) of a lane occupied by public traffic, immediately remove residue and dust when the sand hits the pavement surface. 2. Use a vacuum attachment operating simultaneously with blast cleaning, or use other methods approved by the Engineer. 3. Ensure that sand for blast cleaning conforms to Section 804.
