The purpose of this Pavement Design Manual is to provide CDOT and consulting designers with uniform and detailed procedures for designing pavements on CDOT highway projects. This 2021 manual is to be used after July 1, 2020 until June 30, 2023. This site also includes the "M-E Design Files and Templates".
