Extremely cold temperatures, freeze-thaw cycles and other conditions can make repairing and maintaining pavements during the winter season a challenge.
A new synthesis report from the National Cooperative Highway Research (NCHRP) documents the practices states use during the winter months to keep their roads operational.
Forty states contributed to the report, including most No Boundaries member states. The practices of both the Michigan Department of Transportation and the Idaho Transportation Department were even included as case studies.
