Advance Construction

Certain state DOTs use advance construction (AC) when financing projects in their annual construction program.  Other states make little or no use of AC.  A 2011 report reviewed AC practices across the country with emphasis on evaluating the potential benefits and challenges of using AC and identifying best practices. A 2019 update to the report reflected states' use of AC in light of the Fixing America's Surface Transportation (FAST) Act's scheduled rescission of federal funds in 2020, until that provision was repealed in late 2019.
