CIHT-Design Manual for Roads and Bridges (DMRB) Review Update 2020

In recent years the Design Manual for Roads and Bridges (DMRB) has been undergoing an extensive review process, with the intention to provide a more consistent structure, clearer and more concise information to its users, and to simplify and enable more regular future updates. New documents are currently being introduced every month, with the publication of all documents due to be completed by the Spring of 2020.

Transport Scotland and the other UK devolved authorities have supported Highways England throughout the process, through document review, challenge, attendance at Technical Project Board meetings and preparation of National Annexes.
