Right-of-Way Maps A. Key Sheet Information 1. Overall view of the project 2. Baseline survey geometry and stationing 3. Begin and end project limits 4. Jurisdiction (City, County, State) 5. Geographic features 1. Street names 2. Recorded plats 3. Land lines (Section-Township-Range) 4. Parent tract information

Right-of-Way Maps A. Typical right-of-way plan sheet 1. Centerline or baseline of survey with station 2. Acquisition parcel identification 3. Existing R/W line and new R/W line 4. Existing L.A. R/W and new L.A. R/W 5. Parent tract information 6. Easements and entitlements

Right-of-Way Maps A. Table of Ownerships 1. Parcel number 2. Sheet number (where to find parcel in R/W map) 3. Owner’s name 4. Area taken 5. Remainder (left or right) 6. Comments 7. Recording data 8. Legend

Construction Plans A. How Plans Are Drawn: The Three View Concept 1. Plan View A. Birds Eye View or Overhead View 2. Profile View A. Side View 3. Section View A. Front View  Types of Section Views Include:  Construction Cross Sections  Typical Roadway Sections

Construction Plans A. Key Elements of the Plan View 1. Right-of-Way lines (often inconspicuous) 2. Center Lines 3. Edge of Pavement 4. Locations of Existing and Proposed Features  Existing Features are typically dashed and grayed out  Proposed Features, such as New pavement, drainage structures, traffic separators, medians, sidewalk, Etc., are delineated by heavier line types and identified using various callouts such as:  “Const. New…”  “Begin New…”

PLAN VIEW

Construction Plans A. Key Elements of the Profile View 1. Delineating the Existing Profile Grade 2. Delineating the Proposed Profile Grade 3. Determining the Difference between the Existing and Proposed Profile Grade 4. Identifying the Existing and Proposed Underground Features

PROFILE VIEW

Construction Plans A. Key Elements of the Construction Cross Section View 1. Slice of Bread 2. Delineating the Existing Right-of-Way Line or Grade 3. Delineating the Proposed Right-of-Way line 4. Delineating the Existing Roadway or Grade 5. Delineating the Proposed Roadway

Construction Plans A. Key Elements of the Typical Roadway Section 1. Distance of Roadway Typical Section Applies to 2. Design Speed of Proposed Roadway 3. New Right-of-Way Width, Easement Width, and Limits of Construction 4. Average Number and Width of Lanes, Sidewalks, Ditches, Medians, Etc. 5. Typical Pavement, Ditch, and Recovery Slopes
