S. Magowan and his assistant, Leo Vogt, of Elgin, recently made a formal inspection of the highway test area near Ottawa, 111. The tests, in which various types of pavement are subjected to constant use by trucks of varying weights, have been in operation for approximately the past year. During this period many types of pavements have been shattered by the constant impact of thirty-six trucks loaded with special type weights from 2,000 to 72,000 pounds manned by drivers of the U. S. Army Transportation Corps. The road test project, under the direction of Walter Mc- Kendrick, former chief highway engineer of the state of Maryland, is a twenty-two million undertaking financed by the highway departments of the fort y-eight continental states, plus Hawaii, Puerto Rico, the federal government and various private agencies. A total of 210 Army men, with less than six months of service remaining, drive the thirty-six trucks around the SEARS ROEBUCK AND CO WAUKEGAN FREE ESTIMATES On Alum.

Some of the test road sections have been shattered to smithereens and the tests of those sections have been included. Other sections paved with thick concrete and heavy base materials appear to be unaffected by the constant impact of the heavy ladened trucks. More than four million miles have been driven over the test road sections since the tests began in the fall of 1958. The pavement. tests will end in the fall of 1960 and a f^al report of the results will be compiled and forwarded to the Federal Congress and to the 72nd Illinois General Assembly when these bodies convene in 1961. No similar experiments have ever been conducted, and the long range effect of the tests cannot yet be gauged. .
