In the U.K., Knowsley Council has secured £1 million in government funding to resurface high-traffic roads based on local concerns, while National Highways' Structures’ Moonshot Project has tested advanced non-destructive testing technologies to better assess bridge conditions and reduce disruptive closures. In the U.S., Colorado is rehabilitating U.S. Highway 40’s Red Dirt Hill with pavement reclamation, shoulder widening, and drainage work aimed at improving safety by late October. California's Chico is investing $43 million in Highway 32 improvements, including repaving, ADA-compliant curb ramps, roadside sidewalks, and new traffic signals to extend the road's lifespan and enhance pedestrian safety. Meanwhile, Henderson, Nevada, is transforming Boulder Highway with dedicated bus lanes, elevated bike lanes, improved drainage, and reduced travel lanes to boost safety and traffic flow, particularly benefiting pedestrians and public transit users. These projects collectively reflect a focus on multi-modal transportation improvements and innovative maintenance techniques to meet current and future travel demands.
