Highway projects. 84.013(1)(a)
(a) "Major highway project" means a project, except a project providing an approach to a bridge over a river that forms a boundary of the state, which has a total cost of more than $5,000,000 and which involves any of the following:
84.013(1)(a)1.
1. Constructing a new highway 2.5 miles or more in length.
84.013(1)(a)2.
2. Reconstructing or reconditioning an existing highway by either of the following:
84.013(1)(a)2.b.
b. Adding one or more lanes 5 miles or more in length to the existing highway.
84.013(1)(a)3.
3. Improving to freeway standards 10 miles or more of an existing divided highway having 2 or more lanes in either direction.
84.013(1)(b)
(b) "Reconditioning" means work in addition to resurfacing. "Minor reconditioning" includes pavement widening and shoulder paving. "Major reconditioning" includes improvement of an isolated grade, curve, intersection or sight distance problem to improve safety. Major reconditioning projects may require additional property acquisition.
84.013(1)(c)
(c) "Reconstruction" means total rebuilding of an existing highway to improve maintainability, safety, geometrics and traffic service. It is accomplished basically on existing alignment, and major elements may include flattening of hills and grades, improvement of curves, widening of the roadbed, and elimination or shielding of roadside obstacles. Normally reconstruction will require additional property acquisition.
84.013(1)(d)
(d) "Resurfacing" means placing a new surface on an existing highway to provide a better all-weather surface and a better riding surface, and to extend or renew the pavement life. It generally involves no improvement in capacity or geometrics. Resurfacing may include some elimination or shielding of roadside obstacles, culvert replacements, signals, marking, signing and intersection improvements. Usually no additional property acquisition is required; except possible minor acquisition for drainage and intersection improvements.
