E – 1954 Urban Highway Construction – Infrastructure Projects – Construction Technology

The subject of maintenance and protection of traffic is often abbreviated as MPT. MPT and utility work are the two most critical features of any urban highway project.

Constructing the final roadway is really the least of your concerns. It’s the MPT and utility relocations that require the most time and effort and become the most problematic features of any urban construction.

The course’s goal is to understand the means, methods and challenges of upgrading urban highways while minimizing the impact on vehicles and pedestrians, and to heighten awareness of the critical role played by utilities. Coordination with utility companies must begin at the earliest phase of project development and continue throughout the construction.
