	I travelled past that MnDOT pavement research facility on I-94 west of Minneapolis recently and it got me wondering if any other states have similar facilities where they use actual highway traffic to test out new types of pavement on a separate set of lanes. I've seen 'test segments' on plenty of other highways, but are there any other facilities with parallel roadways like the one in Minnesota? Speaking of MN, can't wait 'til that 'unweave the weave' project on 694 gets done. I almost side-swiped a Toyota with the trailer I was towing as we attempted to merge into the same lane; me following 694, him following 35E. Then all they have to do is fix those other lane drops...

NCDOT used a portion of US 421 just north of Siler City years ago to test varying types of pavement and subsurfaces. The road was being paved at the time and they took advantage of it, including 10 different combinations of pavement and subsurface in the project at specific locations. Some were expected to fail quickly while others were tested for wear and longevity. Eventually all of them were ripped up and the area repaved once the studies were concluded.

For those of you unfamiliar with the setup, the Mn/Road research facility is in the westbound lanes of I-94 at Monticello. This has probably baffled a great variety of motorists, since you have streetlights and lane control arrows way out in the middle of the country; then the road divides in two with one of the paths blocked off. The outside roadway is where all the test section are; the inside roadway is used to shunt traffic away from the test strip when they're working on it. The eventual goal is to add a lane to this segment, hopefully in our lifetimes. It will be interesting to see how they handle the expansion through the research facility, if that is still around. -- --^\____ \| / Monte Castleman, <<Spamfilter in Use>> \| / Bloomington, MN <<to email, remove the "q" from address>> \| \| \| *\| Visit my Minnesota Highways Page: \|_____\ http://home.earthlink.net/~northstarhighways
