OT: converting paved road to gravel

Have about a mile of previously paved road ("chip&tar" or "tar&gravel") that never had a good base put under it over heavy red clay. Over the last winter with heavy truck traffic it has come to pieces in many long stretches. The previous owner was wealthy but I'm not. Since I can't afford to completely restructure the road and repave it, I plan on converting it to gravel. My thought is to have a grader ditch and crown it and a roller break up the already crumbled patches, add gravel as needed (first coarse and then fine) and do this several times as the remainder of the road degrades. Any ideas? Thoughts? Glenn

The easiest way is if you have access to a grader is to have them ditch it, then come in with scarifier teeth when the road oil gets hot and try to kind work it around and break it up. Then depending on the condition of it, spread a light coating of rock chips over this and then drive over this to kind firm it in. If you do not want to go to this much trouble, put about an 1-1.5 inches of CA6 after they get the ditch work done. CA6 is whiterock with limestone mixed in with and when it gets wet and packs will build a pretty solid base.
