Concrete can drive costs down RGJ.com In the race to keep up with aging infrastructure and fiscal realities, the time is ripe for transportation officials to change the way they build our roads.They could save driving taxpayers tens of millions of dollars during the next several years by building our roads with concrete. The Reno Gazette-Journal revealed the logic of this shift in its recent report on the construction of the 8.5-mile Interstate 580 freeway extension south of Reno. It quoted NDOT Deputy Director Rick Nelson saying a concrete road can last 35 years while asphalt must be overlaid every seven to 10 years. In the face of increasing public scrutiny, transportation officials are under greater obligation to demonstrate their stewardship of taxpayer investments. Many transportation agencies are investigating economic tools that will help them choose the most cost-effective project alternatives.

States are losing hundreds of millions of dollars due to outdated bidding policies that favor petroleum-based asphalt over other paving materials. "Even outside of current political stresses on the prices of oil, the world economy has permanently changed with the emergence of strong growth in countries such as China and India," says Ed Sullivan, chief economist for the Portland Cement Association (PCA). "There is new demand for commodities, and the days of oil at $30 per barrel are long gone." In a recently released report, Sullivan describes how asphalt no longer has a competitive cost advantage compared to other materials, such as concrete, at the time projects are bid.
