BEST ROAD AND HIGHWAY CONSTRUCTION SOFTWARE
Mitigate the risks you know, and the ones you don't.
Every day a highway project runs past its completion date means liquidated damages, lost incentives, and lane closures that frustrate the public and the agency. On DOT contracts, a few weeks of delay can erase a job's entire margin. The threats to your delivery date come from two places.
Some threats to a highway schedule are visible from day one: late utility relocations, long-lead bridge girders and precast, seasonal paving windows, lane closure restrictions, traffic staging phases, and paving and earthwork crews competing for the same work zones. ALICE lets you model these and test recovery options before they hit.

Long-lead equipment
Late bridge girders, precast elements, steel, or asphalt and aggregate supply can challenge critical path work.
Fixed, immovable dates
Phased project delivery
Traffic is shifted through staging phases, so one slip cascades across every downstream stage of the corridor.
Crew and space conflicts
Paving, earthwork, drainage, and structures crews compete for the same equipment, trades, and work zones.
Some risks never show up in your status report. Preferential logic, untested traffic staging sequences, hidden risks on the near-critical path, and unanticipated crew and equipment conflicts add time. ALICE surfaces and helps solve these issues early.

Preferential logic
treated as fixed
Choices like paving direction, segment order, and other soft logic get locked in as if they were technical requirements.
Sequences no
one questioned
Near-critical paths
no one is watching
Drainage, utility, and grading work with little float can fall on the critical path after one small slip, but the plan rarely shows where.
Resource and crew conflicts at scale
Traditional scheduling gives you one plan. With ALICE, you can rapidly explore feasible alternatives, each with its own time, cost, and resource profile.

WHAT IS GENERATIVE CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULING?
Watch how generative construction scheduling technology by ALICE works to identify the best way to build your road or highway project
"We were able to get many variable scenarios that we could analyze. In the end, ALICE became a much more efficient tool for us to use than traditional solutions."
PROVEN ON ROAD AND HIGHWAY CONSTRUCTION
What road and highway project teams achieved with ALICE
Owners, contractors, and consultants rely on ALICE to deliver road, highway, and heavy civil projects. See how teams used ALICE to recover delays, cut duration, and accelerate delivery across entire portfolios.
This GC used ALICE to challenge its existing construction schedules and to look for opportunities to recover time that had been lost to project delays.
By challenging its schedules with ALICE and resequencing its plan, the GC was not only able to recover time lost, but also to finish the project ahead of schedule.

Frequently asked questions
-
Constructing a linear project such as a road, highway, or bridge involves several major components. Firstly, the planning and design phase encompasses feasibility studies, environmental impact assessments, and detailed engineering designs to ensure the project's viability and sustainability. This is followed by the land acquisition process, where necessary rights-of-way are secured. Once the groundwork is prepared, site clearing and earthworks begin to shape the terrain as per project specifications. Subsequent stages include subgrade preparation, drainage installation, and laying down the pavement layers (base, subbase, and wearing course) for roads and highways. For bridges, additional components involve foundational works (like pilings or abutments), constructing the superstructure (deck, girders, and trusses), and ensuring structural safety through reinforcements and load testing.
-
For road or highway construction, there are several industry-recognized software solutions that professionals utilize for various stages of the project, from planning and design to construction management.
