Full Depth Reclamation (FDR) for Urban and Suburban Street Application

Summary:

Full-depth reclamation (FDR), a common strategy for rural roadways, has been validated by previous LRRB studies to be a viable long-term and cost-effective option for urban and suburban asphalt pavement rehabilitation. This project developed a video, guidebook and other outreach materials to help cities and counties determine the feasibility of FDR for their roadways. It specifically addresses curb-and-gutter, utilities, storm sewers, and manholes, as well as what should be done with excess reclaimed materials.

Final Deliverables:

• Full Depth Reclamation Resource Guide for Urban and Suburban Street Application (Guidebook #2021RIC02)
• Appendix A: Full Depth Reclamation (FDR) for Urban and Suburban Street Application (Appendix #2021RIC02A)
• Appendix B: Full Depth Reclamation (FDR) for Urban and Suburban Street Application (Appendix #2021RIC02B)
