N2 - The transportation sector has recently begun integrating resilience into its research, but there are not enough resilience measuring dimensions that are specific to the level of complexity of projects. Therefore, the aim of this study is to identify the transportation infrastructure resilience-measuring dimensions and to establish the relationship of identified dimensions based on the complexity level of reconstruction project. To fulfill the aim of this study, a list of potential dimensions that can be used to measure the transportation infrastructure was developed after conducting a comprehensive literature review. Based on the list, a project-based survey was developed and distributed among highly experienced participants in complex projects. Results indicated that, according to experts working on complex transportation projects, a traditional investment process, where the focus of the capital investment is solely on reducing traffic delays, can greatly reduce the resiliency of the network. Instead, investing in adding alternate routes to the project, which is known as redundancy, increases the resiliency of the whole system. This study will help practitioners by providing dimensions for measuring the resiliency of complex projects and thus guide decision-makers to enhance the resilience of the complex transportation infrastructure.
