480.01 Description. This work shall consist of constructing earth shoulders
and medians. CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS
480.02 General. The shoulder and median shall be constructed with earth
which is free from vegetation, roots, sod or other objectionable material. The shoulders and medians may be constructed and finished with a blade grader. The earth in shoulder and median areas shall be compacted as specified in Article 205.06, except that the earth in the area between curb or gutter and sidewalk shall be compacted in a manner meeting the approval of the Engineer. Prior to final blading and shaping of the shoulders and medians, they shall be rolled with a pneumatic-tired roller meeting the requirements of Article 1101.01.
480.03 Rigid Type Surfacing, Curb, Gutter, or Curb and Gutter. At
locations where shoulders or medians are constructed adjacent to a portland cement concrete pavement, portland cement concrete base course, curb, gutter, or curb and gutter, placing of the earth for the shoulders or medians shall be completed and the Art. 480.04 Aggregate Shoulders earth compacted, shaped and finished to the lines, grades and cross sections shown on the plans after the surfacing, curb, gutter, or curb and gutter has been constructed.
480.04 Nonrigid Type Surfacing. At locations where shoulders or medians
are constructed adjacent to nonrigid type surfacing such as aggregate base or surface course, or any hot-mix asphalt surface course not constructed on a portland cement concrete base course, the following shall apply.
a.When the Base or Surface Course is constructed in a trench. Before the material for the base or surface course is deposited, earth shall be roughed in for the shoulders. The earth shall be placed so that it will be possible to retain and compact the edges of the base or surface course. After the base or surface course has been constructed, the balance of the earthwork required to complete the shoulders and median shall be performed, and the shoulders and median shall be shaped and trimmed to the lines, grades and cross sections shown on the plans.
b.When the Base or Surface Course is not constructed in a trench. Before the base or surface course is constructed, the earthwork required to complete the shoulders and median shall be shaped and trimmed to the lines, grades and cross sections shown on the plans.
480.05 Basis of Payment. This work will not be measured or paid for
separately. SECTION 481. AGGREGATE SHOULDERS
481.01 Description. This work shall consist of furnishing, placing, shaping,
