Internal curing can minimize concrete cracking at very early age. Early age cracking, most are due to shrinkage caused by lacking of curing, will hurt the long-term performance and the durability of concrete. It may cause severe corrosion of rebars, as chlorides and other aggresive ions from deicing chemicals can easily penetrate deep into the concrete layer. Internal curing can also lead to a denser structure of concrete, so that the material is better performed when freeze-thaw cycles happen.

Considering the geographic location of New Jersey and the dense polulation, the pavement maintenance cost is huge each year. Therefore, improve the quality of pavement can not only save efforts and costs of repairing, but also making it a safer place to commute for NJ residents.

When not only are the traffic and pedestrian volumes exceeding our capacities, but the tools needed to break new ground in mitigation are also outpacing our ability to understand and utilize, it is imperative that a successful government embrace and utilize these new technologies in a way that does not have to rely on private industry in an emerging and volatile market.

Structure preservation, safety.

It's time.

Safety, overhead structure preservation.

When you are facing eight to ten billion people in the next few decades, you need to drastically rethink your logic in city block construction.

There is a recent legislative bill that has been signed into law: Assembly Bill A4377/Senate Bill S2934 that requires DOT and OIT to develop materials concerning capabilities of airports in NJ and establishes "Public Use Airports Task Force". Looking for an interactive educational app for increasing awareness of New Jersey's Aeronautical Community / Aviation System

Every year planning becomes more and more important as the need for funds grows faster than the available funds at hand. A tool that can give greater confidence and understanding of the effects of such funds would be an important advantage.

There are a large number of pedestrian fatalities and this change may save a life or several.

As a state worker, I know the importance and cost of the guide rail and when we are talking about safety it's very much important to have guide rails on turns and bridges.

So by using this idea (Rollers in the guide rail's columns) we can decrease the number of ACCIDENTS near guide rails. and save drivers' lives and reduce the amount of injury too. Also, this idea will not cost you more in a modification in guide rails. So it's easy to install and very helpful.

I can share the draft design too for this idea.

this is a priority because , when working on the road, its 80% time if very hard or takes time to even get to the bathroom when it need.

Makes it easier for women to have access when needed.

Benefits:

this would be able to put more workers on the road actually working, then having to drive from the work place on the road, to the yard, then drive back, wasting time that could be spent working on the road.

this would also factor out health issues of holding it for a long time, especially when out don't have any truck to drive you back to the yard or if you are out doing safety, MORE EYES ON THE ROAD THE BETTER

COVID-19 is predicted to get worse over the coming months, and local governments need to continue to innovate to keep ahead of the virus. New Jersey's model may be instructive for other states, but it is also wise to reevaluate the strategy in light of the pandemic and see where potential vulnerabilities can be best mitigated.

In times where lockdowns can dramatically affect the flow of revenue, thereby stalling or eliminating important projects, becoming the most efficient company is of the utmost importance. Doing so will allow DOT to make better use of current staffing levels and bring back some important QC functions that have gone by the wayside due to funding and staffing issues.
