1-581 is being continued eastbound in Roanoke. The existing freeway consists of two lanes in each direction of flexible pavement with a structural number of 5 and a subgrade CBR of 6. If the pavement is conservatively designed, how many years longer will the pavement last if a third lane is added given the following conditions for the updated design? • An overall standard deviation of 0.35 and reliability of 90%. • Initial design PSI of 4.6, with the final PSI of 2.5. Anticipated design traffic is: • 23,000 vehicles per day, where the design passenger car has two 2,000-lb single axles. • 3,000 trucks per day, where the design truck has a 12,000-lb single axle and two 32,000-lb tandem axles.
