• Abstract:
  The research team performed a literature review to determine the current state of the practice and emerging approaches on the following pavement widening topics: Pre-design pavement evaluation, sampling, and testing.• Pavement layer and cross-section design practices.• Material performance, availability, and selection practices.• Plans, specifications, and estimates (PS&E) development.• Construction methods and sequencing. A survey of district personnel was performed to document experiences with pavement widening. Finally, four widening projects were evaluated: two narrow (less than 7 feet) and two Super 2 projects with one each in good and poor condition.
