2-Minute Revision

Evaluate connected routes rather than isolated structures. Tunnels, bridges and roads can support security and civilian access, but maintenance, approaches and environmental conditions determine reliability. Dated project examples establish outputs; evidence of dependable travel and services is needed to establish outcomes.

5-Minute Revision

A tunnel is complete but a damaged approach bridge interrupts access to a clinic. Identify the difference between project completion and corridor performance, propose two useful outcome indicators and explain why the tunnel's construction cost cannot answer those questions.
