The National Road Research Alliance (NRRA), will present sessions about current practices that implement new pavement research and technology with a one-day 2017 NRRA Pavement Conference at the University of Minnesota (St Paul Campus). The one-day 2017 NRRA Pavement Conference will be held May 24th. On May 23rd, the day before, there will be workshops, tours, demos, and a dinner at MnROAD.
The conference provides practical information to practitioners and others interested in pavement design, construction, rehabilitation, and maintenance, and examines national and local trends and innovations to expand understanding of pavement challenges and solutions. Sessions will focus on current practices that implement new pavement research and technology. Specifically, presentations will emphasize new materials and methods that can assist decision makers in providing the most cost-effective strategies for building, repairing, and maintaining pavement infrastructure.
