COORDINATING UTILITY RELOCATIONS AS A FUNCTION OF STATE HIGHWAY AGENCIES

Coordinating the relocation of utility facilities from the construction area for new highways and accommodating them of existing rights-of-way is an important consideration of state highway agencies. Data on the various divisions, bureaus, departments, sections, and units of the highway agencies that have the responsibility for this particular area of work were obtained from a questionnaire submitted to all 50 states and the District of Columbia. The results were tabulated and analyzed on the basis of 45 replies. It was concluded that all utility-related functions, such as preliminary engineering, estimates, liaison, coordination, plan development, and review and approval, for both highway projects and new utility installations should be referred to one central office or one individual in each district office for those agencies that are so structured. /Author/
