The
design of a roadway involves several stages of detailed engineering
and technical review and interim levels of approval. Project
information is shared and discussed with the public at project
milestones, and public input is considered in the evaluation
of alternatives. The final design of the roadway is represented
in plans and specifications that construction contractors
use to prepare construction bids.
