Description

This study was to evaluate the international practices and methods that are used by many progressive road authorities and attempt to explain which practices might be more effective and meet the demands of the road infrastructure. This report is divided into two sections to distinguish the project delivery methods used for “Capital Investments” and those that are used for “Maintenance Practices”. The countries chosen in this study are Australia (states of Victoria & Western Australia), Canada (the provinces of Alberta, British Columbia & Ontario), England, Estonia, Finland, New Zealand, Norway, Sweden, The Netherlands, and certain Departments of Transportation (DOT) in the USA (FDOT, MNDOT, NCDOT, VDOT, Maryland State Highway Administration, and DDOT - maintenance only).This study was to evaluate the international practices and methods that are used by many progressive road authorities and attempt to explain which practices might be more effective and meet the demands of the road infrastructure.
