Long-Term Maintenance Needs Planning-Ky Highway Investigative Task No. 44

The purpose of this project is to establish a method for reliably assessing the long term maintenance investment costs for Kentucky's Highway System. This project will use a combination of multi-variate tools to establish the cost structures for various levels of maintenance quality and road type, and then project those costs into various potential future maintenance and construction strategies. This will enable KyTC to better anticipate the overall maintenance costs of various long-term strategies concerning highway quality and miles of new highway. Once established, this system should be able to be re-used on a continuous basis, as new factors regarding road quality may emerge.
