Location of The Proposed Highway

This document discusses the stages of location surveys for developing new highways in rural areas. It outlines 4 stages: 1) Reconnaissance survey of the entire area to locate feasible routes using aerial photos and maps. 2) Reconnaissance survey of feasible routes using large-scale aerial photos to compare routes. 3) Preliminary survey of the best route by preparing large-scale topographic maps. 4) Location survey where the right of way and highway are staked out for construction. The stages involve examining aerial photos, determining topography and land use, comparing and selecting routes, and designing the preliminary highway location.

THE HIGHWAY AND ITS DEVELOPMENT

Proposed Highway

For new highways,
locations are
blended with
curvature grade
and other
roadway elements.
Tentative plans to
improve highways:

1. Reliable estimate of
the cost.
2. Character and
hourly
distribution of
traffic.
3. Economic and
community benefit
Stages of location
surveys in the rural
areas:
1. Reconnaissance survey
of the entire area
between terminal points.
2. Reconnaissance survey
of all feasible routes.
3. Preliminary survey of
the best routes.
4. Location survey, staking
of the right of way and
of the highway
STAGE I –
RECONNAISSANCE
SURVEY OF THE
ENTIRE AREA:
a. Stereoscopic
examination of
small scale
aerial
photographs
of the area.
This is usually
b.
Determinatio
n of
controls of
topography
and land use.
c. Location of feasible
routes based on
photographs and maps.
STAGE II –
RECONNAISSANCE
SURVEY OF FEASIBLE
ROUTE.
a. Stereoscopic
examination of
large scale aerial
photographs of
each route.
b.
Determination
of the detailed
controls of
topography
and land use.
c. Preparation of
route maps by
photogrammetric
methods.
d.
Location
and
comparis
on of
feasible
routes
on
e.
Selection
of the
best
route.
STAGE III –
PRELIMINAR
Y SURVEY OF
THE BEST
ROUTE
a. Preparation of
large scale
topographic maps
using the route
photographs and
photogrammetric
methods or
preparation of large
scale topographic
maps by ground
b. Design of the
preliminary
location.
STAGE IV – LOCATION
SURVEY, STAKING OF THE
RIGHT OF WAY AND OF
THE HIGHWAY AND
STRUCTURE FOR
CONSTRUCTION.
