New pavement failed testing and will be replaced at no cost to taxpayers
CASTLE ROCK – WSDOT will remove one mile of asphalt along I-5 that was recently paved after it failed to meet standards. The asphalt will be removed and replaced at no cost to taxpayers. Through routine quality-control testing, WSDOT inspectors identified that the new asphalt on southbound I-5 near Headquarters Road (mileposts 45.8-46.9) needs to be removed and repaved because it does not meet WSDOT compaction standards.
