The Pavement Research Institute (PRI) has launched its Web site: www.pri.umn.edu. PRI was established in 2003 by the University of Minnesota's Department of Civil Engineering (CE) and the Center for Transportation Studies, along with Mn/DOT and the Minnesota Local Road Research Board (LRRB). The PRI will develop and coordinate pavement research activities with the University, Mn/DOT, and other funding organizations.
Jeff Langan from Marshall County serves on the PRI steering committee.
The new Web site provides information about past and present pavement-related research projects at the University. In addition, the site features information on faculty and researchers associated with the PRI, research capabilities and facilities, and news about pavement-related findings and events.
