Field Trips

MnROAD, located near Albertville, Minnesota (33 miles northwest of the Depot), is a cold region testing facility and laboratory operated by the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) that includes both low-volume and freeway instrumented pavement sections.

As part of the 13 ^th ICCP meeting, ISCP would like to invite participants to tour the MnROAD to see the history, current projects, and capabilities of this unique full-scale testing facility.

Attendees of the field trip will be provided a reflective vest for use during tour.

Buses will leave the Depot hotel around 8am on Thursday, August 29 and return by 12:00pm to the Depot.

The City of Minneapolis will be undergoing several full concrete pavement reconstruction projects during the conference. A construction liaison will provide a walking tour of the projects and challenges they have overcome to revitalize the downtown pavement network in the city.

Minneapolis is also going through a progressive concrete pavement preservation strategy on their city streets.

Attendees of the field trip should bring their own personal protective equipment (PPE), including a hard hat, reflective vest, and safety glasses.

Buses will leave the Depot hotel around 8am on Thursday, August 29 and return by 12:00pm to the Depot.
