The Call for Construction document highlights the process NRRA will utilize to help support this effort and what test sections are available for ideas. The Call for Construction effort is intended to further expand on past efforts, bring in more new innovative ideas from the NRRA Associate Members, and help fund the construction of new test sections on MnROAD’s Low Volume Road (LVR). This document highlights the process NRRA will utilize to help support this effort and what test sections are available for ideas. Thanks for everyone’s support of NRRA over the last 4.5 years.
The proposals will be examined as received. Each will be examined to ensure they meet the overall goals of NRRA. There are no set deadlines; each proposal will be awarded on its overall merit.

NRRA is looking for proposals on how we can best use those test sections. For consideration, proposals must demonstrate a possible impact to road design, construction, sustainability, materials testing and maintenance with a potential for broad national impact. Eligibility is limited to current NRRA Associate Members. The program anticipates making multiple awards, subject to existing test section availability.
