Bruce Highway Scope Management and Design Guidelines

These guidelines apply to all Bruce Highway projects and are intended to specifically address the Program's priority objectives of delivering safety, flooding and capacity improvements along the Bruce Highway.

These guidelines have been developed with the intention to:

• supplement current departmental design documents, e.g. Road Planning and Design Manual 2nd Edition (RPDM), Pavement Design Manual (PDM) and Guidelines for Road Design on Brownfield Sites (GRDBS)
• clarify what is appropriate in the circumstances of the Program
• deliver the department's vision standards for the Bruce Highway
• provide affordable, value-for-money and fit-for-purpose solutions at brownfield sites
• include new design criteria where appropriate that have not yet been released into the various departmental design documents.

Where particular situations are not covered by these guidelines or other departmental design documents, relevant Austroads documents should be used.
