PH1 LADELPHIA
November 11th, 1913.
Hon. Morris Llewellyn Cooke,
Director, Department of Public Works,
Philadelphia, Pa.
Dear Sir:—
In a conference with you in the early part of my
administration you suggested the desirability of building
a Service Test Roadway in the City of Philadelphia, con-
structed of a number of different kinds of materials and
methods of construction, for the purpose of accumulating
data to be used as a future guide in connection with
country road construction in the City of Philadelphia and
in and about this section of the country.
The roadway selected for this purpose was the Byberry
and Bensalem Turnpike, and runs from Bustleton Pike to
the dividing line between the City of Philadelphia and
Bucks County. This roadway is the logical main through
route from Philadelphia to Trenton, Newark, Jersey City
and New York, and at the present time is used principally
for through automobile traffic. It is an old road and was
in use prior to the Revolution and was originally known as
the King’s Highway. It was legally opened December 5th,
1807. A turnpike company was organized and chartered in
1848, and opened it as a turnpike in 1852, the total length
being 51/4 miles, of which 3 4-10 miles is within the limits
of the City of Philadelphia, and comprises the Service Test
Roadway.
The construction work was commenced on September
28th, 1912, and was suspended during the winter season,
when the weather was too cold for work of this char-
4
acter. Operations were resumed again on April 14th, 1913,
and the roadway was completed September 13th, 1913. On
account of lack of transportation facilities and the conse-
quent scarcity of labor, the work was carried on with diffi-
culty. With few exceptions, all of the labor employed came
from the built-up portion of the city and the transportation
was paid by the contractors. The expense of this trans-
portation was approximately 7% of the entire labor cost.
This section of the city is so far removed from transpor-
tation facilities that the contractors constructed a building
along the line of the work for the men to live in. Most of
them, however, insisted upon going to their homes in the
city, and although the labor was paid generally for a work-
ing day of ten hours, the work could not be prosecuted for
ten hours every day on account of the necessity of allowing
the men time to make connections with the trains.
The materials used in the construction were shipped
to Bustleton, Byberry, Somerton and Trevose stations on
the Philadelphia & Reading Railroad. The average length
of haul from the railroad to the work was 1% miles, and
this long haul increased the cost of the work.
I mention these facts because the costs are somewhat
higher than they would be under more satisfactory con-
ditions. *
The roadway is now completed and comprises twenty-
six (26) sections consisting of different methods of con-
Struction and classes of road materials.
In the past few years a number of experimental road-
Ways have been constructed—one of which was built under
my Supervision, and is known as the White Plains Road
Experimental Pavements, in the Borough of the Bronx,
New York City.
A large part of the data which governed the selection
of the different methods of construction and materials
used in the Service Test Roadway, was the result of the
5
experience gained through, and the data collected from,
the experimental roadways throughout the country.
Therefore, this is in no sense an experimental roadway, but
is distinctly a service test roadway, embracing practically
all of the present day standard methods of construction
and materials used in roads designed to care for both
automobile and horse-drawn traffic.
It is the intention to publish reports from time to
time embracing a traffic census, and other engineering
records, and data resulting from scientific researches,
which will enable engineers and all others interested in the
good-roads movement to benefit by the experience of the
City of Philadelphia with this Service Test Roadway.
Respectfully,
WILLIAM H. CONNELL,
Chief, Bureau of Highways and Street Cleaning.

Service Test Road
Byberry & Bensalem Turnpike.
Section One Station 0 + 00 to 37 -- 00
Bituminous Pavement Mixing Method
Amiesite.
Foundation Course:
The foundation course was originally old waterbound
macadam with a telford base.
After cleaning and spiking the old macadam, 11/2 inch
trap rock was spread and rolled to bring the surface to
a grade two inches below the finished grade. Just
enough screenings were added to form a coarse grainy
base and the road was rolled and puddled until thor-
oughly cemented. A twelve-ton three-wheel roller was
used.
Surface Course:
The paving mixture was shipped from the plant of the
Amiesite Company, and consisted of clean crushed trap
rock passing a 1% inch screen treated with a liquifier,
and mixed with asphaltic cement, after which oxide of
lime was added. The paving mixture consisted of the
following proportions:—
Mineral aggregate. . 92 per cent.
Asphalt . . . . . . . . . . . 5 “ “
Lime . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 11/2 “ & 4
Liquifier . . . . . . . . . . . 11/2 “ & &
The material was spread and rolled to a depth of two
inches and after rolling once over, a final course of
friable filler, consisting of a mineral aggregate of trap
rock passing a 3%-inch ring and treated and mixed in
the same proportion as above described, was then
spread and rolled with a twelve-ton roller.
Surface Finish:
Upon the wearing surface a thin layer of clean trap
rock screenings was spread and rolled.

Bituminous Pavement, Mixing Method
Topeka.
Foundation Course:
The foundation course was originally old waterbound
macadam with a telford base.
After cleaning and spiking the old macadam, addi-
tional 11/3 inch stone was added to give not less than
four inches of stone on the top of the telford founda-
tion. Just enough screenings were added to form a
coarse grainy base and the road was rolled and pud-
dled until thoroughly cemented. A twelve-ton three-
wheel roller was used.
Surface Course or Paving Mixture:
The paving mixture consisted of the following mineral
aggregate: Trap rock chips, screenings and sand,
within the limits of the following proportions:—
Passing 200 mesh screen. . 5 to 11 per cent
& 4 40 “ “. . . 18 to 30 “ “
& & 10 “ “. . . 25 to 55 “ “
& & 4 & 6 6 & tº º 8 to 22 & 4 & &
& 4 2 “ “. . . less than 10 per cent
Bitumen. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 10 per cent
The asphaltic cement used was Pioneer Road Asphalt
and was heated in a tar kettle. The mineral aggregate
was heated in a portable Rapid Heater Mixer; the
hot asphaltic cement was added and mixed with the
mineral aggregate.
The paving mixture was laid at a temperature of 250
to 350 degrees and rolled to a finished depth of two
inches with a six-ton tandem roller.
Seal Coat:
From station 42 + 00 to 47 -- 00 a seal coat of 1/3
gallon per square yard of Pioneer Road Surface Asphalt
was applied at a temperature of 350 degrees and cov-
ered with clean trap rock chips passing 3/4-inch screen
and rolled.

Five-Inch Concrete Pavement With Bituminous Top
Foundation Course:
The foundation course was originally old waterbound
macadam with a telford base.
This was removed to a depth of five and one-half inches
below the finished grade, and where the original surface
was below this grade, the surface was loosened and 1%
inch stone and screenings were spread and rolled to
raise the surface to the required grade for the laying of
the concrete base.
Concrete Pavement:
A concrete pavement five inches thick, proportioned
1–3–6 and mixed in a No. 2 Ransome Concrete Mixer with
a charging device was laid on the prepared subgrade.
The surface of the concrete was finished with a tem-
plate and trowels and was roughened with a stiff broom.
One-quarter-inch transverse contraction joints, at right
angles to the roadway, were provided at intervals of
forty feet. For this purpose one-quarter-inch iron
plates were embedded in the concrete and removed as
soon as the concrete had hardened. After the concrete
was thoroughly set, the joints were filled with Pioneer
Road Surface Asphalt.
Bituminous Top: .
From station 52 + 50 to 54 –– 58 a bituminous top of
Ugite was applied. After sweeping the surface of the
concrete, 1/6 gallon per square yard of Ugite “A” was
applied by hand and 3% gallon per square yard of Ugite
No. 3 was then applied at a temperature of 280 degrees
by a pressure distributor. A coating of 34, inch dry
trap rock chips followed. Another application of 14 gal-
lon per square yard of Ugite No. 3 was then applied at a
temperature of 280 degrees by a pressure distributor,
which in turn was covered with torpedo sand and rolled
with a twelve-ton three-wheel roller.
From station 54 –– 58 to 57 –– 17 a bituminous top of
Tarvia was applied. After sweeping the surface of the
concrete, 14 gallon per square yard of Tarvia “B” was
applied cold, after which 3% gallon per square yard of
Tarvia “A” was then applied at a temperature of 250
degrees with a pressure distributor and covered with
torpedo sand.
From station 57 – 17 to 59 –– 50, a bituminous top of
16 -
Labor:
Materials:
Texaco Asphalt was applied. After sweeping the sur-
face of the concrete, 1/3 gallon per square yard of
Texaco Asphalt cut back with naphtha was applied by
hand, after which 6/10 gallon per square yard of Texaco
Asphalt, 55 penetration, was applied by hand at a tem-
perature of 450 degrees and covered with clean trap
rock chips passing 34-inch screen and rolled with a
twelve-ton three-wheel roller. -

Five-Inch Concrete Pavement With Bituminous Top
Foundation Course:
The foundation course was originally old waterbound
macadam with a telford base.
This was removed to a depth of five and one-half inches
below the finished grade, and where the original surface
was below this grade the surface was spiked and 11/2
inch stone and screenings were spread and rolled to
raise the surface to the proper grade.
Concrete Pavement:
A concrete base, five inches thick, was laid upon the
subgrade. This concrete was proportioned 1-3-6 and
was mixed by a No. 2 Ransome Concrete Mixer equipped
with a charging device. The surface of the concrete
was finished with a template and trowels and was
roughened with a stiff broom.
Transverse contraction joints, at right angles to the
line of the roadway, were provided at intervals of forty
feet. For this purpose two pieces of tar felt paper
were embedded in the concrete at each joint and trim-
med to the grade of the concrete surface when it was
finished.
Bituminous Top:
From station 87 –- 50 to 92 –H 00, a bituminous top
was laid. From station 87 –– 50 to 90 -- 00, 4/10 gallon
per square yard of Dolarway Bitumen was applied at a
ºperature Of 270 degrees and covered with torpedo
Så Il Cl. +
From station 90 -- 00 to 90 –– 70, 1/3 gallon per square
yard of Bicomac was spread on the surface of the con-
crete pavement. A mixture of trap rock chips, trap
rock dust and Bicomac was then applied and rolled with
a hand roller. One-half of this surface was covered
with trap rock dust and rolled lightly. The other half
was covered with trap rock chips and rolled lightly.
From station 90 + 70 to 91 + 35, 4/10 gallon per
Square yard of asphalt cut back with naphtha was
Spread upon the Surface of the concrete pavement and
the naphtha was burned out. Trap rock chips were
then Spread and rolled into this asphalt coating with a
hand roller.
26
From station 91 + 35 to 92 + 00, 1/3 gallon per square
yard of Bicomac was spread upon the surface of the
concrete pavement, after which 4/10 gallon per square
yard of asphalt was applied at a temperature of 400
degrees and covered with clean trap rock chips passing
%-inch screen.

Vitrified Block Pavement on Four Inch Concrete Base
Foundation Course:
The foundation course was originally old waterbound
macadam with a telford base. The surface was graded
to within nine and one-half inches of the finished grade
and additional material was added where required. It
was then thoroughly rolled.
Concrete Base and Vitrified Blocks:
A four-inch concrete base with concrete curbs, propor-
tioned 1-3-6, was laid upon the prepared subgrade.
The concrete was mixed in a Ransome No. 2 concrete
mixer equipped with a charging device.
The sand cushion was spread and rolled with an iron
hand roller, and shaped with a template. After laying,
the vitrified blocks were rolled with a six ton tandem
roller and grouted to within one-half inch of the sur-
face with cement grout, proportioned 1-1, and covered
with sand.

Bituminous Pavement Mixing Method
The foundation course was originally old waterbound
macadam with a telford base. After cleaning and spik-
ing the old macadam, additional 1%-inch stone was
added to give not less than four inches on the top of the
telford foundation. Just enough screenings were added
to form a coarse grainy base and the road was rolled
and puddled until thoroughly cemented. A twelve-ton
three-wheel roller was used.
Surface Course or Paving Mixture:
The paving mixture consisted of the following mineral
aggregate: Trap Rock, run off crusher, passing a one-
inch screen and retained on a one-quarter-inch screen.
The mineral aggregate was mixed with 4.8 per cent. of
asphaltic cement in a stationary asphalt plant erected
by the contractor at the south side of the road at Sta-
tion 115. The paving mixture was laid at a temperature
of 250 to $350 degrees and rolled to a finished depth of
two inches with a six-ton tandem roller.
Seal Coat:
A Seal Coat of 1/4 gallon per square yard of asphaltic
cement was applied at a temperature of 350 degrees,
and covered with clean trap rock chips passing a 3%-
inch screen and rolled.

Vitrified Block Pavement on Four-inch Concrete Base
Foundation Course:
The foundation course was originally old water-bound ;
macadam with a telford base. The surface was graded
to within nine and one-half inches of the finished grade
and additional material was added where required. It
was then thoroughly rolled.
Coºncrete Base and Vitrified Blocks:
A four-inch concrete base with concrete curbs, propor-
tioned 1-3-6, was laid upon the prepared sub-grade. The
concrete was mixed in a Ransome No. 2 concrete mixer,
equipped with a charging device. tº
The sand cushion was spread and rolled with an iron
hand roller, and shaped with a template. After laying,
the vitrified blocks were rolled with a six-ton tandem
roller and grouted to within one-half inch of the sur-
face with cement grout proportioned 1-1 and covered
with sand.

Five-inch Hassam Concrete Pavement With Bituminous Top
Foundation Course:
The foundation course was originally old water-bound
macadam with a telford base. This was removed to a
depth of five and one-half inches below the finished
grade and where the original surface was lower than
this grade, the surface was loosened and 11/2-inch stone
and screenings were spread and rolled to raise the sur-
face to the required grade for the laying of the con-
Crete pavement. .*
Concrete Pavement:
Stone was spread upon the foundation course and rolled
with a six-ton tandem roller to a finished depth of five
inches. From Station 112 –– 50 to 114 –– 85, 21/2-inch
trap rock was used.
From Station 114 + 85 to 116 -- 00, 11%-inch trap
rock was used.
From Station 116 -i- 00 to 118 -- 00, crushed pebbles in
size from one to two inches were used.
Cement grout, proportioned 1-2, was mixed in a Hassam
Grout Mixer and poured on the stone until the grout
flushed to the surface. As soon as the grout had settled,
the road was rolled with a six-ton tandem roller.
Bituminous Top:
A bituminous top was laid upon the concrete surface.
One-fourth gallon per square yard of Ugite No. 3 was
applied at a temperature of 250 degrees, by a pressure
distributor which was covered with clean trap rock
chips passing one-half inch screen and rolled with a
six-ton tandem roller, after which one-fourth gallon
per square yard of an asphaltic cement was then ap-
plied at a temperature of 425 degrees by a pressure
distributor and covered with clean trap rock chips
passing one-half inch screen and rolled.

Vitrified Block Pavement on Four-Inch Concrete Base
Foundation Course:
The foundation course was originally old waterbound
macadam with a telford base. The surface was graded
to within nine and one-half inches of the finished grade
and additional material was added where required. It
was then thoroughly rolled.
Concrete Base and Vitrified Blocks:
A four-inch concrete base with concrete curbs, propor-
tioned 1-3-6, was laid upon the prepared subgrade.
The concrete was mixed by hand labor.
The sand cushion was spread, rolled and shaped with a
template after laying, the vitrified blocks were rolled
and grouted to within one-half inch of the surface with
cement grout proportioned 1-1 and covered with sand.

Bermudez Asphalt Binder
Foundation Course:
The foundation course was originally old waterbound
macadam with a telford base.
After cleaning and spiking the old macadam, 1%-inch
trap rock was spread and rolled to bring the surface
to a grade three inches below the finished grade.
Screenings were then added and the road rolled and
puddled until thoroughly cemented. A twelve-ton
three-wheel roller was used.
Wearing Surface:
Three inches of 1%-inch trap rock was spread upon
the foundation course and rolled. One and eight-tenths
gallons per square yard of Bermudez Asphalt Binder,
heated in tar kettles to a temperature of 350 degrees,
was then applied by hand and covered with clean 34–
inch trap rock chips and rolled with a twelve-ton three-
wheel roller.
Seal Coat:
A seal coat of six-tenths gallons per square yard of
Bermudez Asphalt Binder was applied by hand at a
temperature of 350 degrees and covered with clean
1/2-inch trap rock chips and rolled.

Bicomac Concrete Pavement
Foundation Course:
The foundation course was originally old waterbound
macadam with a telford base. This was removed to a
depth of five inches below the finished grade, and where
the Original surface was lower than this grade, the
Surface was loosened, and 1%-inch stone and screen-
ings were spread and rolled to raise the surface to the
grade required for the laying of the concrete base. A
five-ton tandem roller was used.
Concrete Pavement and Bituminous Top:
The concrete pavement, four inches thick, and propor-
tioned 1-3-6, was laid, and as soon as the concrete had
settled, it was rolled with a hand roller weighing 700
pounds, and while still wet and in a plastic condition,
was covered with a resilient concrete wearing surface
one-inch thick after compression. The wearing sur-
face, or bituminous top, was applied cold, and consisted
of one part Portland cement, six parts clean sand, and
twelve parts clean trap rock passing a 1%-inch screen,
and containing not more than 25% of 11/2-inch size
stone, and 8% of Headley Good Roads Company No. 26,
known as Bicomac, which was used in the proportion
of 70% of Bicomac, and 30% of water. The mineral
aggregate was thoroughly coated with the solution.
The sand and cement were mixed together and added
to the coated stone and the whole thoroughly saturated
with the solution and laid and rolled with a five-ton
tandem roller, as soon as the base had become hard
enough to sustain the roller.

Vitrified Block Pavement on Four-Inch Concrete Base
Foundation Course:
The foundation course was originally old waterbound
macadam with a telford base. The surface was graded
to nine and one-half inches of the finished grade and
additional material was supplied where needed and
rolled.
Concrete Base and Vitrified Blocks:
A four-inch concrete base with concrete curb, propor-
tioned 1-3-6, was laid upon the prepared subgrade.
The concrete was mixed in a Foote Concrete Mixer and
by hand labor.
The sand cushion was spread, rolled with an iron hand
roller and shaped with a template. After laying, the
vitrified blocks were rolled with a four-ton tandem
roller, the joints were grouted to within one-half inch
of the surface with cement grout, proportioned 1-1,
and covered with sand.
