Major Rehabilitation Program The Major Rehabilita on Program is part of UDOTs on-going planning strategy to restore or reconstruct badly deteriorated pavement. Even with properly applied preserva on strategies in place, pavement can eventually lose structural integrity due to traffic or environmental factors, and major rehabilita on or reconstruc on is required to restore service life. Rehabilita on projects usually involve removing and restoring the top several inches of asphalt or the en re top layer of pavement. Pavement thickness may be increased to support exis ng or projected traffic loads.

ACCOMPLISHMENTS Some examples of recent major rehabilita on projects include: • I-80, Silver Creek to Wanship pavement reconstruc on and drainage improvements Reconstruc on involves rebuilding the pavement layers from the ground up to replace the equivalent or increased pavement thickness. Occasionally the soil under the pavement will need to be strengthened.
• I-84, I-15 to SR 26
UDOT Central Asset Management division analyzes UDOT’s roadway network condi on each year and determines the percentage of funding allocated to the pavement preserva on program. Regions iden fy pavement preserva on projects during annual STIP workshop, and then present the program amount and project list to the Utah Transporta on Commission for approval at the March or April commission mee ng.
