Plan Reading
Roadway plans are developed to provide a pictorial view of the existing facilities and proposed improvements on a particular section of undeveloped land or existing roadway. They convey information relevant to the construction of the roadway, ranging from the quantities of construction materials required to the horizontal layout of the roadway.

This lively class will change the way one thinks about reading and understanding roadway construction plans.

Several practical exercises provide students an opportunity to demonstrate their understanding of course content. By the end of the training, participants will possess the knowledge to communicate key details about any set of roadway plans to those interested.
