It’s the only full-scale concrete pavement test facility of its kind in the Southeastern United States.</span></span><br /><span style='background-color:rgb(255,255,255);color:rgb(74,74,74);font-family:&quot;Avenir Next&quot;, Avenir, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, sans-serif;font-size:16px;'><span style='-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;display:inline !important;float:none;font-style:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;orphans:2;text-align:start;text-decoration-color:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;'>Florida’s warm, humid climate makes this site especially valuable for understanding how pavements perform under conditions different from those in northern facilities, such as MnROAD in Minnesota. Combined with FDOT’s respected Accelerated Pavement Testing (APT) program, this test road positions Florida as a global leader in pavement innovation and research.</span></span></p>
