How much to build a road?

[Todd Belanger]

I'm looking into buying a 9 acre lot and putting up 8 to 10 homes. The city wants me to build a road through it connecting to two other roads. I'm estimating about a mile of new road. It would be like a standard urban neighborhood road. We also would have to put in water and sewer and connect off of the city. I have no idea how much it's going to cost to build a road like this. So I thought I throw the question out here. I am aware there are lots of variables. Most of the lot is actually pretty flat there is one section that is a small hill. Just some sort of ballpark ideas would be helpful if anybody knows thanks so much.

Hey Todd,

Will this be an asphalt road?

What will be the road width from curb face to curb face?

Will you be required to provide curb, gutter, sidewalk?

Do you also need to pull sewer and water for that entire mile distance to connect to your project?

One way you can determine what the city will require is to find boilerplate conditions of approval that the city imposes on everyone that builds a similar road. They are usually on-line with the city planning commission meeting minutes.  The conditions of approval from the engineering department will most likely include some detail on what you will be required to provide.

I can give you a ballpark price, assuming the grade is relatively flat, but need to know this info first.
