A 40km gravel surfaced road on a reasonably good alignment, is now carrying an annual average daily traffic of 100 vehicles (10% trucks). The traffic is expected to grow at an annual rate of 5% compounded (for each road type and all vehicles). The minimum attractive rate of return is 10% per annum. It is proposed to pave the road with minor reconstruction and the rest of the project details are shown in Table 1 below. Determine the benefits and costs after the year of paving
