Exploring Alternative Strategies for the Rehabilitation of Low Volume Roads in Nevada
Record Type: DOT
The project will explore options for replacing the current 2-inch overlay, open graded wearing course, and surface preparation rehabilitation strategies with more innovative methods of rehabilitation treatment for low volume roads. The objective of this project is to design field test sections of reliable rehabilitation treatment models using new practices of rehabilitation. Specific rehabilitation strategies to be examined and evaluated include chemical stabilization, foamed asphalt, pavement recycling technology, and utilization of milled material with rejuvenating agents. Based on the performance of the test sections, the most cost effective method(s) of alternative rehabilitation will be recommended for inclusion in NDOT's long term pavement management program.
