Pavement Preservation Presentations

The mantra of pavement preservation is “The Right Treatment on the Right Road at the Right Time.” Yet, it can be difficult to apply this concept sustainably, particularly at the local municipality level, where budgets, public expectations, and contractor availability can all vary significantly. Presentations will provide a broad overview of preservation and rehabilitation practices and processes common to the upper Midwest. Attendees will be provided with several tools to aid in selecting the right process and evaluating efficancy.

The ARRA Regional Seminar Team has made registration available through AUGUST 10, 2022 to receive the Early Bird Registration for the ARRA Regional Seminar. Registration fees include access to the Seminar for both days, as well as meals and transportation to offsite events. The event will be hosted at the Grand Geneva Resort and Spa in beautiful, Lake Geneva, Wisconsin.
