ROUTE I-78 SHOULDER REHABILITATION EVALUATION. FINAL REPORT
This report describes the field evaluation and performance results of several shoulder rehabilitation techniques after six years of service on a six-lane interstate highway through rolling terrain in north central New Jersey. The techniques varied from simple maintenance repairs and slurry sealing to 8-in.-thick tied concrete shoulders. The cost effectiveness of each treatment was determined using an Equivalent Uniform Annual Cost method. Because most of the distress noted in the test sections was water related, the importance of providing and maintaining good surface and subsurface drainage is stressed in the report. Recommendations on the most cost effective rehabilitation techniques are provided.
