State departments of transportation undertake hundreds of construction projects each year that affect, and are affected by, streams and rivers. These projects include replacement and rehabilitation of bridges and culverts, as well as new construction and rehabilitation of highways in stream corridors. While the hydraulic design standards for the completed bridge, culvert, or highway are well established, there are elements of risk involved in any temporary occupancy of a waterway for construction, including: personal safety risks, economic risks to the transportation agency and contractor from delays or damage, and environmental risk from unanticipated flooding.

NCHRP Synthesis 619: Design and Construction of Temporary Facilities in Streams and Rivers: Hydraulic and Hydrologic Engineering Considerations and Practices, from TRB's National Cooperative Highway Research Program, documents state DOT hydraulic and hydrologic engineering considerations and practices for design and construction of temporary facilities in streams and rivers.
