Constructing a linear project such as a road, highway, or bridge involves several major components. Firstly, the planning and design phase encompasses feasibility studies, environmental impact assessments, and detailed engineering designs to ensure the project's viability and sustainability. This is followed by the land acquisition process, where necessary rights-of-way are secured. Once the groundwork is prepared, site clearing and earthworks begin to shape the terrain as per project specifications. Subsequent stages include subgrade preparation, drainage installation, and laying down the pavement layers (base, subbase, and wearing course) for roads and highways. For bridges, additional components involve foundational works (like pilings or abutments), constructing the superstructure (deck, girders, and trusses), and ensuring structural safety through reinforcements and load testing.
