Construction of a highway is result of a project design and development process which is often 
long, complex, and involves many agencies and individuals. This process consists of a number of 
stages. During each and every stage of the process, vital decisions are made. These decisions, 
taken at each stage, affect subsequent stages and overall design outcomes. Chapter 1 provides 
an overview of entire highway project development process. In this project development 
process, various activities are involved. First activity is planning which can be accomplished by 
final design, background, applicability and use of design criteria; then project design as per type 
of the project and finally decision making. Highway project development process has four 
distinct stages –concept definition, planning and alternatives development, preliminary design, 
and final design. All of these four stages are applicable to all types of highway projects from 
inception to commissioning through construction and maintenance. As the name suggest, 
concept –definition is recognition of a project. This stage includes necessity of the project, 
geographic limits, and identification of other specifics to enable studies to start. Planning and 
alternative development stage occurs early in the overall project development process and this 
stage includes wide range of activities that result in selection of a preferred plan that meets 
regulatory needs and is adequately detailed to continue with final design and construction. 
Once the purpose and requirement for the project have been determined with public input, 
proper design criteria are chosen by the transportation agency and reviewed with stakeholders 
of the project.  Preliminary design, as the name suggest, is initial stage of final design process 
for confirmation of right-of-way needs. Final design is finishing point of design documents and 
design specifications for construction of the projects.  
Geometric design is the design of the visible dimensions of a highway.
