"If you preserve your pavement, if you put money into maintenance and take care of your drainage issues before they become a major problem, . . . then you're not going to need as many high-cost roadway repairs as you would if you neglected these maintenance practices. A long-term preservation approach really makes a difference in extending the life of the assets."
