Abstract
CTEDD 017-03Local governments (LGs) in the United States are managing 3/4 of 4 billion miles of roadway and more than 1/2 of nearly 600,000 bridges, which are critical transportation infrastructure assets that support the mobility, economy, and homeland security on both the local and national levels. To maintain aging infrastructure in a state of good repair under shrinking budgets, LGs must incorporate a systematic approach to conduct cost-effective maintenance, rehabilitation, and reconstruction (MR&R) instead of relying on subjective individual knowledge and experience
