Targeted Overlay Pavement Solutions (TOPS) is an Every Day Counts (EDC) initiative from FHWA that aims to provide solutions for integrating innovative overlay procedures into practices that can improve performance, lessen traffic impacts, and reduce the cost of pavement ownership. Approximately half of all infrastructure dollars are invested in pavements, and more than half of that investment is in overlays. By enhancing overlay performance, State and local highway agencies can maximize this investment and help ensure safer, longer-lasting roadways for the traveling public. Proven innovations in both concrete and asphalt overlays are highlighted on FHWA’s EDC-6 webpage.
