The study investigated the feasibility of eliminating aggregate particulates passing the #200 and #100 sieves from a surface mix (S-5) gradation. Feasibility was to be determined on the basis of test mixtures, with particulates deleted, meeting Virginia's specifications. Two aggregates, greenstone and granite, were used to prepare Marshall specimen

It was found that the coordinates of the highways required for Noise 1 could be supplied on punched cards by the Photogrammetry Section of the Department. In preparing data for contour plotting, it was found advisable to divide the area into sectors, with each sector being surrounded by the edges of roads or by internal boundaries. In this manner,

Prior to 1932, road maintenance and construction in Virginia were largely the responsibility of the individual county governments. Bridge construction projects formed a natural part of these activities. Local responsibility resulted in a rich variety of bridge designs built by an equally diverse group of bridge companies.
