501.3CONSTRUCTION —
(a)General. Construct pavements in one or two traffic lane widths as shown on the Standard Drawings ,
unless otherwise di rected. Use one- lane construction if two- lane construction interferes with traffic. For projects with more than 15,000 square yards of mainline concrete paving, monitor aggregate gradations during concrete production by performing sieve analysis using plant stockpiled aggregate before beginning daily production and when restocking bins, but no mo
