Abstract

Highway construction in congested urban areas is a challenge owing to high-traffic volumes, utility conflicts, complex right-of-way acquisition issues, a diverse stakeholder base, and watchful news media. This study focused on techniques used by transportation agencies to deal with these and other challenges. A highly diverse set of techniques were discovered, suitable for different needs. Four case studies are included to illustrate effective construction practices in congested urban areas. Information was gathered through literature review and a survey of selected state departments of transportation and city transportation agencies.
