Construction Joints. Minimize the number of longitudinal and transverse construction joints. Thoroughly clean both types of joints by blast cleaning. Coat the hardened sides of the joints with an approved bonding agent before fresh concrete is placed. When necessary, form longitudinal construction joints vertical by use of a header secured to the deck. After removal of the longitudinal header and transition, saw the overlay 3 in. (75 mm) or more inside the construction joints and the overlay outside the saw cut removed before the adjacent overlay is placed. The volume of the overlay removed is not included in the volume measured for payment.
