A Regional Road Track Pavement Testing Facility in Wyoming

Evaluating the expected performance of pavement is crucial to improve roadway design and construction. Road testing provides a logical method to test pavement materials and structures under actual traffic loading and environmental conditions. A new road track is porpoosed on I-80 to assess the long-term pavement perfromance in the dry-freeze climatic region. The results of testing pavement materials and structure on the proposed road track will provide several benefits for enhancing pavement desing methods, asphalt material specifications, and management techniques.
