This project included widening the existing US-40 through Gusher to include a center turn lane, additional eastbound passing lane, and acceleration/deceleration lanes at the major intersections. Burdick Materials added the center turn lane to improve safety through the town of Gusher. After widenings, the entire roadway was capped with SMA.
