Crack Pavement Still Examined

The town's operations and facilities manager says it's still now certain what measures will be taken to repair a number of cracks that have appearing the newly paved Portage Avenue underpass.

A total of 29 cracks have been identified along joints where concrete was laid underneath.

Doug Brown says the cracks aren't all that worrisome.

"It's made to crack in these locations because of the concrete slabs underneath it," says Brown. "It's normal. It was there before. Because it's brand new you don't like to see the asphalt crack."

Brown says a decision to repair the cracks has yet to be made.
