- Description:
- Road building, or highway engineering, has long been the responsibility of civil engineers. Over the past thirty years, road building has morphed into transportation, a domain that involves not just engineers but professionals from a wide range of disciplines. I will share three example projects which were eventually successful largely because of the interdisciplinary teams that were brought together to work on them: (1) not building the Mt Hood Freeway in Portland, Oregon during the 1970's, (2) expanding the capacity of transportation systems using technology in the 1990's, and (3) transportation at the edge of Moscow, Idaho in the early part of the 21st century.
