Finalize Plan-in-Hand (70%) line and grade
Make the final changes to the line and grade:
- Incorporate comments from previous review (30% or 50%)
- Develop responses to (30% or 50%) review comments
- Finalize typical sections
- Finalize roadway geometric design
- Develop final wall alignments, profiles and cross-sections for structures and geotech to complete wall designs.
