Book excerpt: "The purpose of this review was to update and review the highway bypass literature since 1994 with a view to understanding the longer‐term economic impacts of highway bypass roads and how communities have adapted and changed in response to these impacts. Focus was on literature that, with one exception, has assessed impacts long after completion of a highway bypass road. The aim was to understand those factors that influence the economic impacts of highway bypasses on communities in the longer‐term and to provide the proponent, and community, with more up‐to‐date indicators that could be considered when planning and designing bypasses. The review examined three key areas of highway bypass impacts – economic impacts, social impacts and community response and mitigation measures."--Executive summary.
