The impacts of major urban transportation construction projects on existing traffic patterns and economic activity are undeniable and significant. Reducing the costs of delay to the local community of users and nonusers imposed by highway and bridge reconstruction projects requires that appropriate management actions be taken. To mitigate these external costs strategically planned actions have been adopted or are being considered in the execution of several recent or planned projects to reduce construction-related impacts. Examples of such actions include (a) innovative project-scheduling strategies;(b) new construction techniques, including the use of special or prefabricated materials;(c) use of contract incentives to encourage more timely performance;(d) construction and use of temporary traffic lanes,(e) traffic improvements to alternative routes,(f) increased supply of public transportation services,(g) private and public promotion of ridesharing, and (h) public awareness campaigns via printed materials and the news media. A survey and review are given of state-of-the-art reconstruction techniques, traffic accommodation strategies, construction quality-control measures, and project development and evaluation processes as they have been applied to mitigate corridor travel impacts during reconstruction projects.
