It provides detailed information on every segment of the road network that is being worked on, allowing users to track and manage each segment's progress and status. This table is essential for understanding the scope and scale of the project, as it breaks down the preservation efforts into manageable parts, ensuring that every road segment receives the attention and resources needed for effective maintenance and reconstruction. Additionally, it helps in planning and allocating budgets accurately, monitoring costs, and assessing the overall impact of preservation activities on the road network.

  • Location: Bottom of the project window. 
  • Columns Include: 
    • Name: Name of the road or effort. 
    • Progress: Current progress of the preservation effort.
