(OP)
I'm looking for recommendations for a good book on road design.  Not layout but the nuts and bolts of the actually design.  Any suggestions are appreciated

RE: road design book

I'm sure that you will get many good recommendations that you can purchase. Here is one that is free (.pdf download)
http://www.dot.ca.gov/hq/oppd/hdm/hdmtoc.htm

Take a look around this website, there are other documents that may be of interest.

Best Wishes

RE: road design book

I take it you are looking for a book on Pavement Design.  If so, Witzcak and Yoder is an excellent one.   Military pavement design manuals are good and the site given by SRE is good.

RE: road design book

The National Highway Specifications website (NHSW):
http://fhwapap04.fhwa.dot.gov/nhswp/index.jsp
This site consists of a searchable library of highway specifications from across the country. The site also features Discussion Forums to enhance communication and interaction in the development and use of various types of construction specifications.

RE: road design book

Another place to go is www.dor.state.ne.us here they have numerous links to other state and federal agencies in regards to roadway, bridge and box culvert design.

Namdac

Thank you for all your suggestions.  I've just had my end of probation review and have a better understanding of what is expected of me.  Going back for a master's is frowned upon but I'm to self-study.  I do a lot of road alignment studies so I'm looking for books to help with that and in general a good project managment book.
