Abstract:

Incidental costs during construction, including costs of job cleanup and aesthetic treatments, range from two to four percent of total construction costs on many highway projects. Even though this percentage is relatively small present money restraints necessitate careful study of the benefits and costs of such incidental activities, especially those that give only temporary or minimally observed benefits. By minimizing temporary treatments, but continuing to allocate some funds to permanent aesthetics, it should be possible to reduce costs without severely reducing permanent aesthetics. Even though the cost savings on any specific job will be small, total statewide savings could be meaningful.
