The series consists of correspondence ("red files") and plans pertaining to design of highways by outside consulting firms which have contracted with the Department of Transportation. The files are maintained by the Consultant Management Office, which directs highway projects designed by consultants. The records document the development of the state highway system, and the construction and maintenance of the state's infrastructure by the department.
Correspondence typically includes the consulting firm, public officials, and interested citizens writing about technical aspects of a project. An environmental impact statement is also included in the file. Specific projects in this accretion include Freeman's Bridge, South Park Avenue bridges, New York State Thruway riverside ramps, and work on Maurice Avenue to the Grand Central Parkway.
