For almost 30 years, extensive research conducted at MnROAD has provided a vast number of benefits to the state of Minnesota and other state agencies.

For the 2022 MnROAD construction effort, research projects will be constructed on the I-94 mainline and are related to flexible and rigid pavement materials as well as geosynthetics, preventive maintenance, and recycling and rehabilitation techniques. These studies align with the goal of the National Road Research Alliance’s (NRRA) focus of sustainability and resiliency as the world moves toward reducing the impact on the environment.
