Abstract:This research project has examined the issue of overdesign in infrastructure. Based on a thorough literature review, the research team developed a questionnaire on the nature and extent of overdesign and practices to avoid it or correct it when it does occur. Confidential interviews using this questionnaire were conducted with subject matter experts across a broad range of industry roles and experience, including state departments of transportation, toll road authorities, consultants and advisors, and infrastructure developers. Interview results confirmed the widespread presence of overdesign across multiple modes of transportation and identified potential mechanisms for avoiding overdesign it.
