Employing a Two Pavement System will increase effectiveness of limited transportation funding & resources.
A Competitive Two Pavement System is an Effective Solution
Durability
Introducing concrete provides a more durable paving option that requires less rehabilitation over its lifespan, reducing congestion, roadway accidents, and vehicle operation costs.
Safety
With 3 fewer work zones needed to rehabilitate the 40-year lifespan of concrete roads, work zone related accidents will decrease.
…
Reduced Congestion
40-Year rehabilitation comparisons of concrete and asphalt interstate sections show that concrete pavement results in 1,255 days less congestion.
