The cost per HSIP project in 2013 ranged widely. Some projects were small in scope and cost, such as replacing signs on a particular route. Others were higher cost projects, such as widening a highway or reconfiguring an intersection. Figure 2 shows the breakdown by project cost, grouped into general categories with breakpoints at $100,000, $500,000, and $1,000,000.

Figure 2. Number of Projects by Project Cost

Roughly two-thirds of the projects had costs less than $500K. A small percentage (13 percent) fell into the $500-$1M category. The remaining 20 percent were high cost projects totaling $1M or more.
