Ensuring the Completed Road Project is Designed, Built and Operated as Intended

van der Ree, Rodney / Tonjes, Stephen / Weller, Cameron

Roads are built by a team of people from a range of disciplines who must collaborate to ensure the road is built within budget, on time and to the highest possible standards with the least environmental impact. Ecologists, and especially those with expertise on the species of concern likely to be impacted by the proposed road, must be involved in the early planning stages of the project and throughout the process. 1

Road planning, design, construction and operation is a truly collaborative process.

Engage ecologists and biologists with expertise on the ecosystems or species of concern at the earliest planning stages to ensure the best outcome for biodiversity.

Large‐scale or expensive mitigation measures need to be identified during the route selection process so that costs and benefits can be properly evaluated.

Clearly define the ecological goals of the mitigation.

Mitigation measures need to be identified during the planning or early design stages to prevent unnecessary costs.

Misinterpretation of concepts and designs can (and often do) occur at each stage in a road project.

Ensure that species or ecosystem experts continue to be included in each design and construction stage of a project to ensure the effectiveness of mitigation measures.

Genuine collaboration among road planners, engineers, designers, construction teams and ecologists is essential. Without it, roads may be built in poor locations, and mitigation measures are likely to be ineffective, financially wasteful and fail to protect species from local extinction.
