Pavement
or Gravel?
"VLCT asked the Vermont Local Roads Program for
advice for towns that might be weighing the relative
costs and benefits of paving their dirt roads, especially
in light of recent winter temperature fluctuations.
We thank Hank Lambert, Co-director of the Program,
for sharing the following advice and resources: As
the volumes and weights of traffic increase, the cost
of maintaining a road also increases. Since every
road is built differently, and acts differently, each
road must be assessed individually. Engineers
seem to agree that traffic volumes of 400 to 500 vehicles
per day on a gravel road indicate it is time to upgrade
the road to include paving. A 2005 research paper
by the University of Minnesota addresses the issue of
paved versus gravel roads. It is called Economics
of Upgrading an Aggregate Road and can be found at:
http://www.lrrb.gen.msn.us/pdf/200509.pdf.
The Vermont Local Roads Program also addresses
the topic in a fact sheet When to Pave a Gravel Road,
which can be found at http://personalweb.smcvt.edu/vermontlocalroads."
