Managing MnDOT’s network of roadways to a satisfactory level of performance requires pavement investment selection methods and activities that consider performing the “right fix” at the “right place” at the “right time” and the “right way.” Although these investment selections consider a broad assortment of investment methods and activities beyond traditional maintenance, maintenance investments and activities play a significant role in roadway pavement performance, often affected by the availability of localized and regionalized resources. To optimize roadway pavement maintenance investment methods and activities, MNDOT Maintenance has determined that the Smooth Roads Project Management Team should be re-established to address this topic.
