| Abstract | As part of a national initiative sponsored by the Federal Highway Administration under the Highways for LIFE program, the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) was awarded a $1 million grant to demonstrate the use of a proven, innovative precast concrete pavement system in conjunction with traditional pavement restoration and concrete overlay on an important multilane highway. The project represents FDOT’s effort to introduce to the central Florida highway industry the precast concrete pavement systems, a construction option that is easy to build, easy to install, easy to maintain, and will have a long service life. This report details the installation of precast concrete panels to rehabilitate existing problem areas and to raise the profile of the roadway to reduce the occurrence of flooding. This report also contains other items relevant to HfL projects, including a description of HfL goals, other technology transfer activities on the project, and an analysis of data to evaluate if the HfL goals were satisfied. This demonstration project gave FDOT the opportunity to experience PCPS and to compare this innovative paving method with traditional concrete paving. The innovative method proved to be a positive experience in achieving the HfL performance goals of increasing safety, reducing congestion, and increasing quality. The experience gained on this successful project will help FDOT implement these innovations on future projects. |
