Why is the new Shaw Road “bumpy”?

This project reconstructed Shaw Road from 23rd to Manorwood using pervious concrete. Some drivers have noticed the presence of joints where the concrete was scored between the new panels to allow for their natural expansion and contraction. This was done to ensure that any cracking happens at these specific locations rather than elsewhere in the panels. Drivers may feel and hear these joints as their vehicles pass over them.
