This document discusses pavement preservation strategies and treatments. It provides details on various preservation techniques including crack sealing, thin overlays and microsurfacing. It compares the life cycle costs of traditional reconstruction versus a preservation approach. A preservation approach that utilizes low-cost preventative maintenance treatments can extend pavement life, resulting in lower long-term costs when compared to traditional reconstruction. The timing and selection of the right treatment is important to address pavement distresses cost effectively and ensure the overall network needs are met.
