76 Conclusions and Further Research Highway agencies across the United States are increasingly looking to implement policies, procedures, and practices to maintain a high level of construction quality while ensuring public safety, reducing traffic delays, building sustainable and long-lasting pavements, and increasing project- and network-level cost savings, particularly as they pertain to the construction and rehabilitation of concrete pavements. Notwithstanding any limitations and potential challenges inherent in adopting and successfully implementing new technologies, agencies are embracing advances in materials, equipment, placement techniques, project delivery, project management, and public outreach, as well as procurement, payment, and coordination methods, to achieve this goal.

Conclusions and Further Research 79 • Perform a cost–benefit economic analysis of various technologies, practices, materials, and equipment as pertained to construction and rehabilitation of concrete pavements under traffic and specifically additional costs incurred due to MOT considerations and benefits in terms of reduced delay times, user costs, and work zone crash rates. • Develop long-lasting and crack-resistant rapid-setting concrete materials to perform fulldepth repairs of concrete pavement during an overnight closure.
