TERRA Innovation Series

The TERRA Innovation series consists of various events focusing on transportation engineering and road research. Events are held in Minnesota and other TERRA member states. The series communicates TERRA activities, innovations, and products through knowledge transfer, exchange, and demonstration. The series has a technical focus and will address research results, trends that improve productivity, innovative partnering and contracting models, and hot topics that may lead to new research related to TERRA priorities.

TERRA Pavement Conference

This one-day conference provides practical information to practitioners and others interested in pavement design, construction, rehabilitation, and maintenance. The conference examines national and local trends and innovations to expand understanding of pavement challenges and solutions.

Sessions focus on current practices that implement new pavement research and technology. Specifically, presentations emphasize new materials and methods that can assist decision makers in providing the most cost-effective strategies for building, repairing, and maintaining pavement infrastructure.

The 14th annual pavement conference in 2010 marked a change in the name of the event from the Minnesota Pavement Conference to the TERRA Pavement Conference.
