What is Highway Renewal?
The reconstruction or substantial
rehabilitation of deteriorating
highway infrastructure to new
standards of service, while the
infrastructure continues to serve
the traveling public.
Rapid Renewal implies
accelerated construction but also
includes project delivery, design,
and operational & maintenance
features that minimize the total
project length and produces long
lasting facilities
