SECTOR OVERVIEW

Industry overview

Land transport infrastructure, including roads, bridges, interchanges and related networks, shapes access, safety and travel efficiency for cities and economic areas. Effective projects consider traffic demand, terrain, drainage, community impacts and maintenance across the asset life cycle.

PROJECT CHALLENGES

Challenges of Land Transport

  • Traffic staging and construction safety must be managed while existing routes remain in use.
  • Soil conditions, flooding, drainage and existing utilities can strongly affect design and cost.
  • Design should consider multiple users, including vehicles, public transport, pedestrians and cyclists where relevant.
