Construction to rebuild the intersection of Westerville Road and Dempsey Road exposed six-inch heavy paving bricks beneath nearly 10 inches of asphalt. The nearly perfect bricks, none of which were marked for their origins, weren’t a surprise to the construction workers who often see new road surfaces covering older brick roadways.
The bricks span the width of the road and appear to cover about a 200-foot length of the road from just north of the intersection to in front of Glengary Shopping Center.
The removed bricks, along with the concrete underlayer, are hauled to a nearby recycling facility where they will be crushed.
