Crossed the river and it became black asphalt. Damn. I put the windows up, turned on the A/C. There was a crying indian on the right shoulder, bemoaning Henrico's devastated polar bear population.
Sad.

Doesn't specify, but it doesn't appear so. $12k/mi chip coat, $14k/mi to seal coat in this example. Looks like it's as simple as cost divided by miles.133743Hokie wrote:That's per lane mile i expectUSN_Hokie wrote:A 10sec Google search says the cost for a normal topcoat is $12k/mile.
