Idea to Realty: How an Idea Becomes a Road
 

From planning to pavement, the steps it takes to build a road.

Building a road is not easy. An army of designers, planners, community representatives, construction workers and citizens are needed to get from point A to point B. Depending on the road, it may take from two to 12 years to finish the job.

While no two projects face the same challenges, the steps outlined in the publications below will give you a good glimpse of how an idea becomes a road.
