STRATEGIC PLANNING FOR PAVEMENT PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE: MICHIGAN DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION'S "MIX OF FIXES" PROGRAM
The Michigan Department of Transportation's pavement maintenance program uses a "mix of fixes" approach to meet the public expectations of safe, smooth, and well-maintained roads. This strategy combines long-term fixes (reconstruction), medium-term fixes (rehabilitation), and short-term fixes (preventive maintenance), with the emphasis on preventive maintenance. By applying cost-effective treatments to correct minor pavement deficiencies before the problems become major, the state is able to extend pavement service life and optimize available funds to meet network condition needs.
