• Abstract:
  On some of Oregon's highways, particularly on the interstate freeways in Eastern Oregon, most of the heavy trucks travel in the outside lane (right lane). With this kind of truck traffic pattern, the right lane experiences significantly higher axle loadings than the left lane, and consequently, the right lane deteriorates much faster than the left lane. After years of services, the left lane pavement is still in good condition while the right lane pavement satisfactory service. Maintenance activities, which add additional costs, are often necessary before the major rehabilitation.
  
  In 1989, to resolve this type of pavement problem, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) jointly developed an experimental features project constructing a pavement with Asphalt Concrete (AC) material in the left travel lane and Continuously Reinforced Concrete (CRC) material in the right travel lane (AC.CRC adjacent lane), on a section of Interstate 84 (I-84) in eastern Oregon. The construction of the pavement was completed in 1989.
  
  This final report of the experimental features project presents a description of the feasibility of the AC/CRC adjacent lane construction and an evaluation of the cost-effectiveness and performance of the AC/CRC adjacent pavement.
