National Road Research Alliance (Phase-3)

This solicitation is for the continuation of the National Road Research Alliance (NRRA) for another 5 years and to continue to support Veda development to increase efficiency and effectiveness of both efforts. The NRRA exists to strategically implement cooperative pavement research. State agencies, industry, academia, consultants and associations work together to identify problems, complete research projects and implement results. The goal is to help agencies nationwide achieve consistent benefits from real world road research. It also seeks to provide members a forum to discuss issues and an outdoor, real-world laboratory (MnROAD) for evaluating cutting-edge pavement technologies. The NRRA consists of five project teams: Flexible, Rigid, Geotechnical, Intelligent Construction Technologies, and Preventive Maintenance and is governed by an Executive Committee made up of two representatives from each government agency participating in the study. Each team activities include prioritization of short and long-term research, development of long-term research test sections at MnROAD and providing input for technology transfer.
