The article discusses the challenges faced by government agencies in constructing public roads for tourists in the U.S. It states that the construction of the east entrance road of the Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming presents engineering challenges to the Federal Lands Highway (FLH). It notes that it is essential to integrate technology in the design, planning and construction of public roads to ensure safety and performance.

The article presents the findings of a field study by West Virginia University (WVU) on the performance of two glass fiber-reinforce polymer (GFRP) rebar in Martinsburg, West Virginia. It indicates that the application of GFRP reinforcing bars in place of established steel reinforcement in continuously reinforced concrete pavement (CRCP) exhibits significant performance considerations. Furthermore, GFRP-reinforced CRCPs can be built at low cost and without the need of extra construction time.
