i. Differentiate the significant challenges in terms of geological conditions and potential risk related to the construction of the existing PLUS Highway and the West Coast Expressway with the sketches' help. Also, discuss the answer by considering topography's influence and the challenging geological conditions to climate change in the next 50 years.

The yearly transition probabilities associated with various condition states of urban Interstate highway bridges in a certain district are given below: In 2005, there are 1000, 2000, 1000, and 500 bridges in the Excellent, Good, Fair and Poor condition states, respectively. Find the number of bridges that are expected to be in the Excellent, Good, Fair and Poor conditions in 2010. Assuming that no major repairs during the period, so the original transition matrix stays unchanged.

Identify and briefly discuss at least 3 risks that may be associated with this project. Highway 410/Steeles Road Project- Highway 410 currently has 4 lanes of traffic in each direction, i.e., northbound and southbound, with a 12-ft median between the northbound and southbound lanes- Steeles Road has 3 lanes of traffic in each direction, i.e., eastbound and westbound, with 4-ft median between the eastbound and westbound lanes- For this project the requirement is to: Build two off-ramps from Highway 410 to Steeles Road to, i.e., eastbound and westbound ramps Build two on-ramps from Steeles Road to Highway 410, i.e., northbound and southbound ramps Build a bridge overpass on Highway 410 over Steeles Road
