The installation of a thin polymer concrete overlay on the Big Swan Creek Bridge provides further evidence that an overlay of low permeability can be soundly bonded to a concrete bridge deck by maintenance forces with a minimum of disruption to traffic. A discussion of when to specify a thin polymer concrete overlay is appended to the report.

This manual provides a tool for planners at the local level to use in assessing the localized economic impacts of transportation fuel price changes. The publication is divided in two parts: Derivation of Procedure and Planning Manual. A change in the price of gasoline can be expected to have an impact on the local economy of an urban area. In order

Recently, much criticism has been directed toward the use of vibratory rollers to compact bituminous concrete. The results of the study reported here indicate that when these rollers are operated properly they can produce dense, strong, smooth riding pavements. It is important that, as with any equipment, the rollers be used properly. The authors o

Maintaining the large number of signs on the state's roads demands a substantial effort, especially now that many of the signs erected during construction of the interstate and urban arterial systems are deteriorating to the point of requiring replacement. It is imperative that an expeditious sign refurbishing program be established to ensure the e

This study examined historical data of the skid resistance inventory in Louisiana from 1974 through 1981 to determine trends. The data showed that no trend exists when using number of vehicle passes versus skid number difference on any surface presently used in Louisiana. A review of the data shows that not only are no trends discernible, but that
