Abstract:The objective of this research was to investigate and document practices currently being used by the
Nebraska Department of Roads (NDOR) districts and other State DOTs to mitigate pavement edge
drop off. The NDOR has developed (or borrowed) and is currently incorporating into its standard
practices several procedures that significantly decrease the incidence and magnitude of pavement
edge-drop off. As these practices become more fully integrated into highway reconstruction projects,
pavement edge drop off is expected to decrease dramatically. Localized areas of pavement edge drop
off along paved lanes with bare or vegetated shoulders were noted as posing particular problems for
NDOR maintenance personnel. Several commercial systems for artificially reinforcing soil beneath
vegetated or aggregate shoulders were investigated. Suggestions for follow-on research and field
studies involving various mitigation procedures are included in the recommendations.
