Highways

State Departments of Transportation across the country face a common challenge: how to repair concrete roadways that may be up to 50 years old in some locations. While replacing or overlaying deteriorated pavement can be time and cost prohibitive, Concrete Pavement Restoration (CPR) often provides the better solution.

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