Title: Design and Construction of Highways in Urban Areas
Accession Number: 01035807
Record Type: Monograph
Availability: Find a library where document is available Abstract: The papers presented in this issue of the Record examine the economic, social, technical, financial and political problems frequently associated with highway construction in urban areas. One topic considers the societal impact of highway construction including displacing residents, changing access to and impact on neighborhoods, insuring adequate public information and involving local participation in the decision making process. Another topic covers the contractor and his wide range of responsibilities which include labor costs, safety issues, maintenance of traffic, job site security and oversight of a project's scheduled phases. Ultimately highway construction in urban areas is a multigroup planning and cooperative effort between local, state and federal agencies working together with designers, planners and contractors.
