... Details of the subject project and the construction of the various test sections are provided in the following sections. Project Overview The PCC paving project selected for constructing and testing the selected surface textures was the South Extension of the I-355 North-South Tollway between I-55 and I-80 near Joliet, Illinois.

... Table 4-4 lists the mean texture values for each test section, based on measurements from both the right wheelpath and the lane center, the mean micro-texture and friction values measured for each section, and the mean noise levels, as measured at the pavement–tire interface, in the vehicle interior, and at the side of the road. (Detailed results are presented in Appendix D.)

... 4 Sand patch tests conducted on heavy turf drag textures (after hardening of the PCC) yielded average MTD values of 0.023 in.
