Adding or editing road segments
Last updated: 2023-07-19
A road segment describes all or a portion of a road, is identified by the name, type, and highway number, and is associated to a category. A structure segment describes all or a portion of a bridge, culvert, or other structure, and is associated to a category.
- A road segment is required for every category that is not a structure segment. To add a structure segment, go to Adding or Editing Structure Segments.
- Every category MUST be associated to either a road segment OR a structure segment.
- A category can only be associated to one road segment OR one structure segment.
- A primary road segment is required for all projects, even projects with only structure categories.
A primary road segment is used to identify the general limits of the project based on the route and the beginning and ending station.
- A primary road segment is required for all projects, even projects with only structure categories.
- A primary road segment must be assigned a route.
- A primary road segment is NOT associated to a category.
- Select the Road Segments tab.
-
On an existing road segment record, click expand the row and select the field(s) you wish to change.
Info:- If this project was imported from FIIPS, a primary road segment record should exist.
-
If this project has not been imported from FIIPS, but was created in AWP Preconstruction or imported from Estimator, click <New> to create the primary road segment record.
-
Enter these required fields for a primary road segment record. Refer to the Project Summary Data Fields table for additional guidance entering these fields.
Required Fields Required Data Entry Name FIIPS Project Description Title only in camel case.
Example: "Black River Falls - Tomah" is the project description title for "Black River Falls - Tomah; B-27-039 & 043 EB/B-27-040 & 044 WB"Description Primary Route Populated with data from FIIPS. Do not change.
Examples: IH 090, USH 029, STH 034, CTH HH, VAR HWY, TWN RD, LOC STR, NON HWY, BUS 051
NOTE: Upper case values only.Begin Station Begin station for the project in this format: STA 10+00 OR Log Mile 1.0 End Station End station for the project in this format: STA 25+75 OR Log Mile 3.5
A road segment is required for each category that is not tied to a structure.
Tip: If you have a category, that has mainly roadway items, but includes a structure, consider separating the structure into its own category. Then it can be associated to its own structure segment. Work with the Project Manager or the region FIIPS Coordinator to recommend and make this change.
- Select the Road Segments tab to add or edit a road segment for the project.
- To edit an existing road segment, expand the row and select the field(s) you wish to change.
- To add an additional road segment, click <New>. Every category that is not a structure category is required to have a road segment.
- Complete the required fields below for each road segment record associated to a category. Refer to the Project Summary Data Fields table for additional guidance entering these fields.
