Project Objective

The objectives are as follows:

Well designed, constructed, and maintained pavements provide safe and comfortable rideability. In a case of roadway rehabilitation, measures should be such that they do not compromise the above factors. Potential problems arise at roadway approaches to bridges when either the roadway or the bridge deck is rehabilitated. Ideal conditions exist when the pavement and bridge are overlaid by layers of equal thickness. NJDOT Practice NJDOT in those situations is to overlay bridge decks with a Latex Modified Concrete (LMC) riding surface.

Project Objective

The sustained economic success that thrust New York into international preeminence has been closely linked to the development and  maintenance of superior systems of transportation. Whether in the leading role or a supporting position, transportation underwent critical improvements as one economic era evolved into the next. In the 19th Century the Erie Canal made New York City the gateway to the frontier.

Barricade warning lights have been used for many years at construction sites to indicate to drivers that caution is needed. A benefit of these warning lights is that they are widely recognized and understood, but a downside is that "caution" is the only message that they are able to communicate. Drivers may not know what action should be taken until additional information is available, or it is too late.

Project Objective

New York’s northern and western borders with Canada have long served as important commercial and tourist gateways for the entire United States. With recent and projected growth in cross-border travel, and heightened security concerns arising from the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, the transportation infrastructure in the border regions is being pushed to its limits.
