Enhancement of Traffic Control Tool for Reopening of Flooded Roadways

This project aims to enhance the current methodology and fatigue equation to determine when to reopen a roadway after a flooding event. The outcome of this research would help prevent accelerated damage to the pavement foundation and maintain the design surface life of a flooded roadway. The subject research would align with the State of Florida's Resiliency Program.
