TRB will conduct a webinar on Thursday, July 12, 2018 from 2:00 PM to 3:30 PM ET that features research from the National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP)’s Synthesis Report 502: Practices for Establishing Contract Completion Dates for Highway Projects.

This webinar will discuss approaches for estimating contract time for highway construction projects. Establishing contract time is an important part of the highway project development process because it directly impacts project costs, the public, and risk for contractors. The presenters will focus on approaches used nationally as well as advanced approaches currently being investigated.

Please note: This webinar has been rescheduled from its original date of May 10, 2018. That webinar did not occur due to technical difficulties. If you registered for the webinar on May 10, you will need to re-register for this webinar.
