Arup ; ; Highways Arup helps clients plan, produce and predict the shape of the world’s highways – from initial investment advice, to design and research into new mobility systems. Share Highways Talk to Mike Evans about this industry Get in touch The planning journey Roads have been central to economic and social development for hundreds of years. But across the world today, road operators and decision makers face many evolving challenges: increasing driver numbers, constrained budgets, asset resilience, road user safety and customers’ service expectations. Highways are major investments and many clients come to Arup for our ability to judge financial risks, environmental impacts and overall viability. Our breadth of expertise in procurement and financing makes us the perfect partner for public or private organisations planning new road schemes or programmes. Our experience in related infrastructure, like bridges, tunnels and city planning, means we bring detailed and valuable insights to every project. In a full advisory and design role, we helped the Canadian government with the business case and supporting technical advice to start the New Champlain Bridge corridor project. We also undertake master planning at national road network level. By looking at changes in traffic demand and road users’ behaviour, we help clients develop strategies which are customer-focused, appropriate to their aspirations for level of service and within the boundaries of their budget. Rethinking mobility A shift towards a more digital society and the advent of new vehicle ownership models are just two trends affecting how highway investments need to be evaluated. As our cities have developed and grown, transport connections have become more complex. Today, smartphone apps identify the smartest way through the traffic, providing new opportunities for mixing modes of transport and influencing new commuter behaviours.
