3 INTRODUCTION

Changes introduced in this revision of the index of DMRB documents.

3.1 Published

1. GG 000 31-Oct-2023 - Design Manual for Roads and Bridges index 0.1.1
Public Notes: Amends and supersedes index dated 15-Oct-2023
Supersedes:

Public Notes: Version 1.0.0; Publication: October 2023: New document. This document contains the requirements for the appraisal of new and retrofitted renewable energy system installations on motorways and all-purpose trunk roads.

3.2 Withdrawn

1. GD 302 - Smart motorways: Upgrading hard shoulder running to all lane running operation
Public Notes: Following the Government’s announcement of April 2023 that new smart motorways are to be removed from road-building plans, conversion of dynamic hard shoulder to all-lane running as per the requirements of GD 302 will not be performed. GD 302 is therefore withdrawn without replacement.
2. GG 000 15-Oct-2023 - Design Manual for Roads and Bridges index 0.1.1
Public Notes:
No public notes given
Superseded By:

4 SCOPE

This document lists, by discipline and asset lifecycle, an index of the documents in the DMRB, their legacy decimal references and date of issue. All information is correct as of October 2023.

Legacy decimal references are expressed with reference to the volume, section and part of the DMRB, which was the format used to structure the DMRB prior to March 2020. This information is included in the short-term to aid the transition to the new DMRB structure and will be phased out in future revisions.
