Abstract:The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT)
has begun planning for a concrete test road
that will run parallel to US-301 for 2.5 miles in
Bradford County. Test road construction begins in
2016. The road’s 52 segments will enable real-world pavement testing and measurement of
pavement responses to both dynamic loads, due to
traffic, and static loads, primarily due to intense
solar heating. Traffic diverted from US-301 for
tests will put real traffic flows on the test road.
The heavily instrumented road will provide data
for developing new construction, rehabilitation,
and maintenance strategies and analyzing new
cost-effective materials and design methods.
