Project description

This research studies whether the Incentive/Disincentive for expediting construction captures the true cost and identify its impacts on the long-term pavement performance for projects that have been expedited vs. conventional scheduling. The analysis results highlight the effectiveness of Accepted for Traffic and Interim Completion incentive/ Disincentive clauses; they also debate the effectiveness of the lane rental incentive/disincentive clauses, in achieving their goal by accelerating project schedules and reducing user delay cost.
