Articles in this Issue With research projects investigating
everything from building pavements that can better stand up to
heavy traffic loads to making more cost-effective design
choices, the Concrete Pavement Technology Program is changing
the face of concrete pavement design and construction. A new
FHWA Web site on subsurface utility engineering (SUE) provides a
basic introduction to how this process can help engineers obtain
reliable information on underground utility locations when
designing roads. The site includes information on how SUE works,
the benefits of using the process, and how to select a SUE
provider. The site also includes case studies on States that
have successfully used SUE in their highway planning. To visit
the Web site, go to
