Existing Pavement after course of time and due to movement of traffic over it, the life of pavement cease and required reconstruction of road completely and new layers are to be provided. Reconstruction works is costly and time consuming. Traffic plying on existing road is to be diverted or numbers of diversion road is to be constructed during reconstruction activity. To avoid this situation, overlay is best solution which will increase life of pavement, cost and time saving. Requirement of Overlay thickness is essentially depends upon characteristic of existing pavement layers. Overlay design is therefore an important role to provide safe, durable in lower cost. More importantly, overlay reduces requirement of new material which will saves therefore environment. The satisfactory performance of the pavement will result in higher savings in terms of vehicle operating costs and travel time, which has a bearing on the overall economic feasibility of the project. This paper discusses about the design methods adopted in Overlay Design and its cost saving between reconstructions of project road. Overlay is preferred over reconstruction since existing pavement can be strengthened and improved as and when required periodically with the growth of traffic and also their surfaces can be milled and recycled for rehabilitation. The overlay is less expensive also with regard to initial investment. The economic parts are carried out for the design pavement of a section by using the result obtains by design method and their corresponding component layer thickness. It can be done by drawing comparisons with the standard way and practical way. This total work includes collection of data, analysis to calculate overlay thickness and calculation of flexible pavement layers over reconstruction works for National Highways.
