The Regional Construction Standards is a reference manual of uniform construction standards for improvements in public rights-of-way. The Regional Construction Standards address "horizontal" improvements and those involving the major elements of roadways, drainage and utilities (water distribution and wastewater collection). These documents are intended to accommodate most of the typical construction projects in the region and support the majority of issues the communities face in building minor roads and utilities. Additional specifications and standard details, along with improvements to earlier versions, will be an ongoing effort.
