Improving the cost effectiveness of water sensitive road design
Abstract
Treating stormwater at the roadside is currently not proving cost effective for the Victorian state road authority on major greenfields road projects, however other smaller more urbanised sites such as road duplication projects are proving to be cost effective. VicRoads are currently undertaking research and development programs to ensure treating stormwater at the roadside (Water Sensitive Road Design, WSRD) is cost effective across all situations.
