The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) is proposing to allow states to develop design standards for resurfacing, restoration, and rehabilitation (RRR) projects on freeways, including Interstate highways. The proposed rule would state DOTs to adopt procedures or design criteria, as approved by FHWA, that would enable the State to undertake RRR projects without utilizing design exceptions. The proposal encourages a flexible and context-sensitive approach to consider a full range of project and user needs and the impacts to the community and natural and human environment.
