This study evaluated the condition of the thermoplastic and pavement marking tape stripes through several winters to see if the grooves provided significant protection for the stripes. Placing lane markings in shallow grooves in the pavement results in considerably longer marking life, making the highway safer for drivers.

The purpose of this report is to document Accelerated Bridge Construction (ABC) techniques on IBRD (Innovative Bridge Research and Development) project 102470 for the construction of Bridge N-16-Q on State Highway 69 over Turkey Creek. The project demonstrated faster pier erection by utilizing precast pier caps to eliminate concrete cure time from the critical path in the construction schedule.
