Preservation vs. Preservation vs. ReconstructionReconstruction

► Uniform pavement surface limits water penetration Uniform pavement surface limits water penetration to road base below (good)to road base below (good)

► Cracked road surface allows water penetration, Cracked road surface allows water penetration, frost heaves, pot holes (bad)frost heaves, pot holes (bad)

► Cost of reconstructing a bad road can be 10 to 20 Cost of reconstructing a bad road can be 10 to 20 times more times more $$$$$$ than surface treatment on a good than surface treatment on a good roadroad

► Good road surface = preserved road base = longer Good road surface = preserved road base = longer service life = lower cost to maintainservice life = lower cost to maintain
