Virginia Demonstration Project: Pavement Rehabilitation Using Roller Compacted Concrete Pavement along a Section of Staffordboro Boulevard, Stafford, Virginia

As part of a national initiative sponsored by the Federal Highway Administration under the Highways for LIFE program, the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) was awarded a grant to demonstrate the use of roller compacted concrete pavement (RCCP) to rehabilitate existing asphalt concrete (AC) pavements. The project selected for the demonstration is located along a section of Staffordboro Boulevard (SR11/SR 53/SR 211) that has heavy commuter traffic. The project also included construction of a new RCCP in an adjacent commuter parking lot. All RCCP along Staffordboro Boulevard was overlaid with 2 inches of hot mix AC surface layer. This report documents the application of the RCCP technology for pavement rehabilitation along the section of Staffordboro Boulevard. Because of the technology focus for this project, no economic analysis was required to be performed. The bid price for the 8-inch-thick RCCP, without the 2-inch-thick AC surfacing, along Staffordboro Boulevard was $41 per square yard. Using the RCCP technology on this project allowed VDOT to evaluate RCCP technology for rehabilitation of distressed AC pavements without requiring extended lane closures and without impacting the daily commute of the road users along a heavily trafficked suburban roadway. VDOT gained valuable experience with design, mixture proportioning, and construction of new RCCP with an AC surface. VDOT evaluated the RCCP application in Stafford to determine the feasibility of applying the technology to the rehabilitation of similarly trafficked urban/suburban roadways without significantly affecting commuter traffic flow. VDOT is expected to move forward with the implementation of RCCP technology for such applications. The rapid pavement rehabilitation strategy used in Stafford is considered successful and can be considered applicable for similar projects in Virginia and other States.
