Construction Cost Indicators - The report will be updated
on a monthly basis. The current version was posted on April 6, 2012.
Highway Construction Costs - Highway construction costs are based on the typical design characteristics of common road types for a centerline mile
of roadway and statewide average price estimates for pay items. Generic estimates for these common road types are available for reference purposes from the
State Estimates Office. Please note that construction costs vary across the state and noticeable cost differences may occur within a single district.
District-level cost information is available for some areas. Please contact the district office(s) where the project will be located to determine which estimates
should be used.
Right of Way Costs - Right of Way (ROW) costs vary widely depending on the location in the state and can be very
sensitive to local real estate market impacts. ROW cost calculations are further complicated when specific project locations have not been finalized,
a common occurrence during the early stages of a project. Contacts for further guidance on specific project estimates for right of way costs are as follows:
