The original National Center for Asphalt Technology (NCAT) Pavement Test Track was built in 2000 in Opelika, Alabama where it has served as a state-of-the-art, full-scale, closed-loop accelerated loading facility. The construction, operation, and research at the Test Track are funded through a cooperative effort of agency and industry sponsors with individual pavement research objectives. The Test Track was designed to test 46 pavement sections (200 feet in length) with 10 million equivalent single axle loads (ESALs) of traffic over two years. The test sections allow pavement engineers and researchers to study pavement responses and distresses to make pavement design more economical and efficient. The Test Track underwent its first reconstruction phase in the summer of 2003.
