Gravel / Motor Grader Resources
Roadway design, gravel quality and motor grader operation are key factors for maintaining gravel roadways. This section is a one-stop shop for gravel roadway information, providing gravel roadway training and technology ranging from resource publications to hands-on motor grader field training. With more than 50% of North Dakota's 106,000 mile roadway network relying on gravel surfacing it is imperative that gravel roadway technologies be shared and that technology advancements be an integral part of the state's asset management plan.
