The Maryland State Highway Administration (SHA) frequently has had to delay the advertisement date or the notice to proceed for highway projects because of setbacks in relocating utilities. One of the major causes of the delays is that the identification or resolution of utility conflicts occurs too late in the process. To identify and resolve utility conflicts before the project letting, Maryland SHA recently piloted the Utility Conflict Matrix (UCM) developed under the Transportation Research Board’s second Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP 2). The agency identified six projects in four metropolitan districts in Maryland for the pilots. Although implementation of the UCM is in the early stages, the initial results have been positive.
