I just learned that after the 8th LRFD Edition is published in 2017, AASHTO is going to a 3 year publication cycle with no interim specifications in between. I for one am quite pleased to hear this.
 
Hallelujah!! I'm so excited to hear this. Sad that is what brings me joy these days...
 
Thank goodness, this is the best news I've heard in a while.

...wait, does this mean it's going to just cost 3x as much?

Praise the lord and pass the taters!!

If it does, I'm to the point that I'd gladly pay it! I work in a state where we typically work under the most current version at the time a contract with the DOT is executed so we're constantly juggling which project is under which code. To make matters worse, a projects priority can/is regularly shifted around in their work plan and it's not uncommon to have projects stall for months if not years at a time.
