As part of a five-year comprehensive street repair program, Conewago Township approved the resurfacing of a municipal street called Peanut Drive. The project was split into two phases, with one half of Peanut Drive being paved in 2013 and the other half in 2014. The 2013 section of the road was completed using traditional hot mix asphalt (HMA) materials and the typical application process. However, as township officials reviewed bids for the paving of the remaining section of Peanut Drive in 2014, it was suggested that this phase of the construction could be a good candidate for the use of roller compacted concrete (RCC). The Township believed that RCC could provide a much longer service life than traditional HMA, while simultaneously offering ways for it to stretch its limited construction budget.
