Information is reported on the labor, equipment, material, and cost required for seven bridge maintenance situations in which state forces widened or replaced an existing short span structure. Precast concrete slabs were installed at three of the locations, concrete slabs were cast at the site at two of the locations, and steel stringer-timber deck

The FOLLOWING TOO CLOSELY (FTC) MONITOR system is an experimental device designed to measure vehicle gaps at a point along the highway and to advise the motorist, by means of a flashing message on a sign, that he is following the car in front of him too closely. On October 31, 1974, ten FTC monitors were installed at four sites on a 6-mile 4-lane u

In 1941 two bridges were constructed with decks using concrete incorporating as an experimental feature the use of hydrated lime as an admixture in amounts varying from zero to 12%. After 35 years of service the decks were scheduled for repairs to correct surface spalling caused by corrosion of the reinforcing steel. Performance surveys were made i

Construction operations in highway corridors disturb the natural vegetation and land contours causing potential erosion sites if left denuded. Minimizing erosion on these areas is based on the principles of maximizing water infiltration and reducing water runoff obtainable with rough and stair-step grading to establish vegetative cover quickly.

A study was made of the practice of "scratching" the surface course of several new construction projects in Virginia. It was found that sections with the surface course placed in one lift produced a road roughness value of about 3 in./mile higher than comparable sections which had the surface course split. Conversely, the single lift surface course
