NRRA Pavement Conference
Each spring, the NRRA has hosted a multi-day conference for its members, students of pavement engineering, and other interested parties. During this gathering, we offer time for all teams to meet in-person to discuss current and future research, for project teams to update the wider NRRA group, and host invited speakers on relevant topics for our group.
