Due to this scenario, this final project aims to identify the criteria of green road and to determine the challenges and barrier towards implementation of green approach in road construction. Apart from that, it will also aim to investigate the readiness and acceptability contractor toward green approach in road construction. The data for this study was obtained through set of questionnaire to targeted respondent and was analyzed by using SPSS software.
