Abstract

Building on results from a four-state Pooled Fund Study on the impacts of heavy agricultural equipment on low-volume roads, local road managers, road users, and stakeholders in Wisconsin have developed and implemented a series of simple steps designed to preserve and protect rural asphalt and concrete pavements. In this presentation we will summarize the research and introduce a variety of tools towns and counties can readily use.
