All Success Stories

The primary purpose of the Highways for LIFE success stories is to expand awareness and inform the staffs of FHWA, State DOTs, and industry of how innovation can improve safety, reduce construction-related congestion, improve quality, and why it is beneficial to pursue non-traditional approaches and technologies. A secondary purpose is to inform local agencies, the highway user, and the public.
