With the latest guide, contractors in Austin who are conducting construction and improvement projects in public-access areas can now learn more about the process of applying for a right-of-way permit.

A right-of-way permit is an authorization that is required for contractors to undertake construction and restoration projects in public areas such as roads, sidewalks, and median strips. “By complying with permit stipulations, entities conducting work accept responsibility for liability and indemnification in favor of the City of Austin while ensuring safety is upheld among the public and disruption is reduced,” explains the guide.

TrafCon Services’ new guide explains that numerous types of right-of-way permits are available depending on the type of work being conducted. For instance, utility work such as trenching and excavation requires a specific kind of permit that often necessitates a bore profile that must be certified by a professional engineer if it involves utility crossings.

Applying for a right-of-way permit is a multi-step process, according to TrafCon Services, that begins with authorization from the Right of Way Management Division for any developmental activities planned. Following the initial authorization, applicants will be required to submit detailed descriptions and thorough construction schematics alongside the payment of the required fees.

Given the complexity of the process, the new guide notes that applicants often encounter unforeseen complications and recommends allowing ample time for approval. Furthermore, applicants are advised to consider consulting with a specialist who can assist in preparing the requisite documentation.
