| dc.description.abstract |
When transportation agencies prepare design for new highway construction or major
improvements to existing highways, the agency and user lifecycle costs are considered in
project design decisions. Yet when highway projects are completed, maintenance budgets
are rarely adjusted to accommodate the routine maintenance of new lane miles.
This problem is worsened by the fact that each year the number of vehicle miles
traveled per highway mile increases. Maintenance budgets do not keep pace or remain
constant. The growing disparity between maintenance budgets and maintenance
requirements causes agencies to make tough choices about maintenance priorities. Aside
from concerns about preserving capital investment; highway operations and maintenance
bureaus have concerns about safety and loss of operational efficiency due to deteriorating
condition of roadways. |
