This feasibility study report examines the potential for a new road project. It includes analysis of traffic studies and forecasts for the location, as well as investigation of the site terrain, drainage, soil strength, and topography to determine feasibility. The report also applies principles of sustainable design and development to transportation decisions, evaluates environmental impacts, and explains the ethical decision processes used to select a recommended transportation design solution.
