its durability saves upkeep costs and tax money”
The National Road Test demonstrates again concrete's
durability and lasting riding quality.
Concrete can save future upkeep expense on Interstate
highways. The recent National Road Test, sponsored
by the American Association of State Highway
Officials, tells why.
Concrete and asphalt were tested side by side on 5
loops under the same truck traffic for 2 years. Final
ratings of riding quality (chrirt) showed surviving con
crete still averaged “very good,” asphalt “fair.”
Other road tests proved concrete’s upkeep savings:
Indiana Test Road, $5,602.02 per mile in 6 years.
Oklahoma Test Road, $22,393.52 per mile in 8 years.
Concrete means economy!
