Project description

CRC pavements have a long history of good performance in the United States and other countries when designed and constructed well. Many U.S. highway agencies consider CRC pavements their pavement of choice for implementing long-life pavement strategies that have lower life-cycle costs and require fewer lane closures for routine maintenance and repair/rehabilitation. Since the 1950s, CRCP design and construction practices have advanced considerably, resulting in a truly low-maintenance concrete pavement.
