What does a curb and gutter have to get right in Lexington?
A curb and gutter passes when the flow line holds a continuous fall to the inlet, the line and grade match the survey, and the joints align with the pavement so it drains and takes the load. In Lexington the load runs across the river and the ground under the old core is giving way.
MO-13 is a primary Missouri River crossing, so heavy trucks brake and turn at the MO-13 and US-24 junction, while the historic downtown holds 19th-century architecture and 50-year-old lots with decaying original subbase.
River-crossing freight and a decaying core
At the MO-13 and US-24 junction the curb-and-gutter takes the braking and turning of river-crossing freight, so the radius and the base have to hold a Class 8 load that most small-town corners never see. We build that corner for the traffic it gets, and downtown we rebuild curb whose original subbase has decayed under 50 years of use, resetting the grade so the core drains again — the kind of full rebuild our concrete work is built for.
City code encourages lots sized for loading and unloading, so we set those commercial curb lines to carry the freight the corridor brings.
Bluff loess, slipform, and winter
Lexington sits on a loess-capped Missouri River bluff — wind-blown silt over the bluff that migrates when it saturates; per MoDNR mapping this is bluff loess above the river corridor. On a grade that migration undercuts a base that isn't drained, so we drain the run, protect the edge, and compact the silt before we pour. We run slipform curb on the long corridor runs and place air-entrained 4,000-PSI concrete with joints saw-cut to the pavement, against the freeze-thaw the NOAA record shows for Lafayette County and the winter salt off MO-13.
We build the same curb and gutter across the I-70 corridor — in Oak Grove, Grain Valley, and Blue Springs. Ford rates 4.9 stars across 29 Google reviews for concrete flatwork across the KC metro.
