Sunday Randomness #239: A New Sidewalk in part acts Part 3


Part 3 Starting on excavating next to the existing curb and gutter.  

 First they excavated between the homes and the existing curb and gutter.
 
 Then they brought in fill material to compact for the underlying bed before setting up the sidewalk forms and pouring the concrete.  The pictures with the excavator show digging up the existing lawn and working with the fill material (mostly gravel with some dirt in places).
 Once they had the fill in place and compacted with the smooth-wheeled roller, they started setting up the wood forms with rebar as shown in the shot with the stop sign.
 Another picture with the forms waiting for the concrete to be poured to form the new sidewalk, curb, and gutter.

 Now they've poured the sidewalk and it's set up nicely but they still have a gap between the new sidewalk gutter and the road.


In the final picture they've poured and smoothed new asphalt to match up the roadbed to the new sidewalk gutter.
