100m at 1 lane is around 430SY. That's probably 2hrs of milling and an hour of tacking and paving, with maybe another hour or so for incidentals. So you may only get half a workday of production. For time consuming repairs, like full-depth replacement, the setup time cost may not be significant.
Keep in mind, though, you don't lose a lane of traffic. There is no need to truck in jersey barriers. You don't have to build an entire temporary detour road. You don't pay a consultant $200/hr to design a traffic control plan.
I think the real value is safety. The crew is shielded by the bridge and you have complete grade separation from traffic. That's a lot better than an orange barrel being the only thing between you and a minivan.
- stevage 2y ago430SY? What's SY? Square yards?
- onthecanposting 2y agoYes. We don't use metric in the USA and you can't make us :)
- Log_out_ 2y agoI have a addon that autoconverts imperial units. Your comment is the only thing peaking out of the insanity bubble. =)
- Zecc 2y agoI'm not American, but I would have understood what you meant had you written sq yd instead.

- kevin_thibedeau 2y ago> no need to truck in jersey barriers. The video clearly shows barriers between the workers and the active surface lane.
