UC Davis Partnered Pavement Research Center Receives $32 Million Interagency Agreement from Caltrans for Pavement Research

Caltrans has approved a $32 million interagency agreement to continue the work of the Partnered Pavement Research Center project led by civil and environmental engineering professor John Harvey.

The University of California Pavement Research Center (UCPRC) is dedicated to using innovative research and sound engineering principles to improve pavement structures, materials, and technologies.

“The University of California Pavement Research Center is pleased to be working with Caltrans for another three years to make pavements better for all users and improve their cost and environmental sustainability,” said Harvey. “The center brings world-class expertise to each contract. That expertise evolves as problems are solved and new challenges and opportunities are identified.”

Harvey and his team at the center research, develop and implement support to help Caltrans improve the cost and environmental sustainability of the state highway network."
