• 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.
