Metrobus road asphalt is renewed: Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality (IMM) is changing the metrobus asphalt in order to increase the cruising comfort and to provide more comfortable driving. Renovation work, which will take place in four stages, will start at 26 on Sunday night, July 23.59th.
The asphalt of the metrobus line, which was put into service in 2007, is being renewed in order to reduce the traffic density on the main arteries of Istanbul and to provide fast and comfortable transportation of passengers. Efforts are under way to make the metrobus line, which has a daily passenger carrying capacity of more than 750 thousand, more comfortable.
Works will begin at 26 at night connecting Sunday, July 23.59th. The works will be completed in 90 stages in 4 days. There will be no disruption in public transportation during the asphalting works. In the first stage, Zincirlikuyu-Cevizliin the second stage, Avcılar-Tüyap, in the third stage Söğütlüçeşme-Boğaz Bridge and in the last stage CevizliAsphalt renovation works will be completed between Bağ-Avcılar.
WORKS WILL BE MADE BETWEEN 23.00-05.00
The asphalting works will be done between 23.00 at night and 05.00 in the morning. In the location where advanced technology additives will be used to make things progress faster, transportation will be provided by gradually narrowing one lane in both directions on the E-5.
Metrobus line works will be carried out by the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality Road Maintenance and Repair Department (YOD) and the 300-person expert team of ISFALT.
WHAT TO DO?
52 mile line length, 44 station. The concrete 5-6 centimeter under the asphalt and asphalt of the BRT road will be excavated. 6 centimeter binder (substrate asphalt concrete), 6 centimeter modified (reinforced) asphalt, and the last stage is 5 Stone Mastic Asphalt (abrasion prevention) to be applied. 50 meters ahead of stations and a special additive C50 concrete application will be made quickly. The problems such as wheel track formations, crack-pit formations, reflection cracks from concrete joints, distortion of bridge joints, chimney-grid problems will be eliminated. Traffic safety will be provided by directing lighted and dubbed points at the working points.
More important than asphalt surface renewal, comfort criteria and convenient usage etc criteria; is made due to the friction of the road. The people of our country misunderstand many things due to ignorance, and the rhetoric towards a series of misunderstandings rather than the truth in the press statements is fixed by experiences, since it is more welcome to the ear. The most important safety element in the vehicle's road-rubber wheel pair; Friction-Coefficient of this pair. If this coefficient exceeds the standard limits, a renewal is absolutely necessary. An example of a fallacy: when the citizen says,) a very beautiful road, like a cream, aracı it is known that an effective surface has been created that has lost all of its nominal features and has a aquaplaning. This surface is first milled by the asphalt milling machine and the caterpillars are formed and temporarily approached to the effective friction (Frictionsquotient / Reibungsquotien) nominale. The first opportunity is also necessary renewal. In order to increase comfort, special asphalt pavement containing noise reducing additives (eg old rubber granules) is made. The duty of public information officers: bvbg is to contribute to information and awareness by transferring the information in a way that everyone will understand. Not a saint! Otherwise, we will be ignorant and die ignorant !!!!!
