Lessons Learned from Mn/ROAD Phase I



In 1987, the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) began the first pavement test track built since the AASHTO road test of the 1960s. Jointly developed by a task force that included Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP) administrators, representatives of industry, and consultants from universities, many research studies followed the construction and improved the way that pavements are designed, constructed and maintained. The following papers summarize the lessons learned from MnROAD during its first years of operation.

 

  • Overview of MnROAD Reports

  • Whitetopping

  • IRI and Lane Ride Quality

  • Climatic Studies

  • Low Temperature Cracking

  • Drainage

  • Low Volume Roads

  • Educational Benefits

  • New products

  • Mechanistic-Empirical Design

  • Non-pavement Research
