Abstract:

One of the primary challenges for any transportation agency is to balance and prioritize their needs with respect to maintaining and upgrading their infrastructure assets. For an agency like the Illinois Tollway, the need to align incoming revenue with future maintenance, rehabilitation, capacity enhancements, and reconstruction for their pavements has led to the development of the Pavement Asset Master Plan (PAMP). The PAMP contains basic information about every segment of the Tollway network, its past and current condition, recent traffic levels, and future anticipated maintenance, rehabilitation, and reconstruction activities. The future activities are specific to the mainline and shoulders and are based on predicted performance which was generated using the AASHTO PavementME software, actual experience of pavement performance over time which is based on the Tollway’s pavement management system data collected over the past 15 years, and engineering judgement. Since the original version of the PAMP was created five years ago, it has become an important resource for communicating the plan for how Tollway pavements will be maintained and rehabilitated, and it has become an integral part of the long-range planning and budgeting activities at the Tollway. Future enhancements may include the development of a version of the PAMP for all of the Tollway ramp pavements and a bridge PAMP for the 600-plus structures that are part of the Tollway network.
