In August 1976, a continuously reinforced concrete pavement (CRCP) project on Interstate-72, east of Springfield Illinois, was textured with various pieces of equipment mounted to a texturing/curing machine. The project was divided into the following seven sections of textures; transverse tine, transverse broom, artificial turf, transverse roller, artificial turf and transverse tine combination, longitudinal tine, and longtudinal broom. From October 1976 to October 1976 to October 1979 (36 months), a testing program was conducted to collect the following measurements: friction numbers, speed gradient, texture depth, internal and external vehicle noise level, and pavement smoothness. In August 1997, friction numbers were again measured on the I-72 experimental sections just before the surface was overlaid with bituminous surface course. This report compares the results of the friction tests during the years that the pavement was tested.
