It is expected to take 240 days if the weather is dry and the temperature is hot. If the weather is damp and cool, the project is expected to take 320 days. Otherwise, it is expected to take 275 days. The historical data suggest that the probability of cool, damp weather is 35% and that of dry, hot weather is 40%. What is the expected completion time?

Evaluation of Transportation Projects

Civil engineers undertake a variety of projects related to construction. Building construction projects, structural projects, highway, road construction projects, transportation projects, etc. Transportation projects are related to public constructions that focus to build new connectivity in public transportation. To improve and maintain existing transport facilities also falls under the domain of transportation projects. Some of its objectives include planning, evaluation, designing, development, finance, construction, reconstruction, demolition, rehabilitation, improvement, acquisition, operation, and maintenance. As per the law, all transport projects are authorized to the construction firm that permits them to change the land area meant for public use.
