FHWA PERSPECTIVES: A COMPREHENSIVE APPROACH TO MAJOR HIGHWAY RECONSTRUCTION PROJECTS

This paper considers six areas which must be addressed as major rebuilding programs are approached. These six areas are corridor analysis , traffic management, work zone safety, public information, contract administration, and coordination. What must be understood are the trade-offs that exist in trying to balance the need to facilitate travel by the public with economic, engineering, and design concerns. This requires establishing a comprehensive view of major highway reconstruction projects. A first step toward accomplishing this is the conference at which this paper was presented.
