City / Municipal Streets

Today's urban streets have, in many cases, encountered 20, 30, even 40 years of wear and tear. Over the decades, the nature and amount of traffic passing on these streets has changed dramatically, making the need for a smoother, safer ride even more crucial.

Concrete pavement repair (CPR) is already a proven solution for highways, which see much more traffic and therefore, much more deterioration throughout the U.S. But city streets are just as integral to our nation's infrastructure and CPR allows for a long term solution to bypass the logistical difficulties and high cost that an overlay or complete replacement would involve.

The IGGA offers a variety of resources to meet this need. Below, please find cases studies, fact sheets, technical articles and other resources.
