Michigan Local Technical Assistance Program Network Level Vs. Project Level Project: Moving pieces Network: Winning game
Michigan Local Technical Assistance Program Service Cycle How big is the network? How much of the network do I do work on? How long will it take to “touch” the entire network? Is this longer than the expected life of my pavement? EXAMPLE 500 lane mile road network Do 10 lane miles of work each year Takes 500/10 = 50 years to touch all of the network Asphalt pavement only last 15 years
