Federal Highway Administrator Mary Peters today announced a new website that, for the first time, makes available to highway agencies, contractors, construction engineers, and researchers all highway construction specifications from the 50 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico.

The new National Highway Specifications web site (www.specs.fhwa.dot.gov) is a collaborative effort of the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), an agency of the U.S. Department of Transportation, and the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO). The web site serves as a clearinghouse and electronic library where users can search, review, cross-reference and download current specifications and other specification-related documents.
