Paving across Marion County

Marion County is cropland and woods in south-central Illinois, with Centralia as the largest city and Salem as the county seat. We pave driveways, parking lots, private roads and access lanes across it. U.S. 50 runs through downtown Salem as Main Street, Route 37 crosses in the center of town, and I-57 runs along the city's western edge.

U.S. 51 and Route 161 cross in Centralia, a city named for the Illinois Central Railroad and spread across four counties with the largest share here. Oil fields have been part of the county since the late 1930s, and lease roads and brine-damaged ground still show up on the soil maps. Those sites need their own plan.

Ground and drainage

The county soil survey lists low strength, shrink-swell and frost action as limitations for local roads and streets on many Marion County soils. All three come back to moisture in the subgrade. We proof it, remove or correct what will not carry a load, compact the aggregate base in lifts and grade the surface so water clears instead of soaking in.

Marion County paving questions

What is shrink-swell soil and why does it matter?

It is soil with clay that expands when wet and shrinks as it dries. That movement works on pavement from underneath and shows up as cracking. A thicker compacted rock base and good surface drainage limit how much moisture reaches it in the first place.

Do you build access roads and equipment pads?

Yes. Private roads, access lanes, farm lanes and equipment pads are regular work for us. They carry heavier and more concentrated loads than a car driveway, so we build more base under them and thicken the section where they tie into a highway.
