Now why do lane closures matter so much? Well, first of all, consider the sheer number of projects that benefit from this service. At Roadway Construction Service, we set up closures for construction, maintenance, emergency, and many other types of projects. Everyone from utility and energy providers to event management and film production crews rely on this solution. Ultimately, though, the most critical role played by closures is their ability to minimize disruptions while maximizing public safety. Specifically, we want to keep vehicles, pedestrians, and work crews safe while preventing traffic snarls and general confusion. We’re proud to say that we consistently succeed in this goal.
The Complexity of Lane Closures in Southern California
Setting up a lane closure in sunny Southern California is no cake walk. If fact, the process can be unbelievably complex. The first challenge we face is the area’s well-known traffic density – and not only during rush hour. Thick traffic can be the rule virtually any time of day. On top of that, all closures must adhere to some of the strictest regulations on the planet. No worries on that score with us at the helm. To ensure complete and timely compliance, we’ve developed an expert permit acquisition team. To throw a wrinkle into the mix, permits are always project specific. Which means, every permit requisition must be ‘customized’ to fit the job. If you think that takes some heavy lifting, it does. Fortunately, Roadway Construction is well up to the task. That’s because our company is backed by years of experience managing closures on California’s highways, city streets, and for major infrastructure projects.
Strategic Traffic Merging & Detour Planning
When it comes down to it, successful lane closures often hinge on effective traffic merging and detour planning, both of which are critical to smooth traffic flow and public safety. Why are they so important? Regarding traffic, both of these solutions minimize traffic snarls and travel times. On the safety front, merges and detours go a long way to keeping vehicles exactly where they’re supposed to be.
All of this, of course, must be planned out to perfection. Which is why we rely so heavily on our traffic planning team. Tops in their field, this distinguished group develops a custom traffic control plan for each project. Among the major points addressed in these thorough blueprints are merging points, detour routes, and timing, and signage.
At Roadway Construction Service, we offer a wide range of traffic control plan services, each plan the starting point of a safe and properly implemented lane closure. As with all our other solutions, accuracy and thoroughness prevail. You can expect each plan to offer uncompromisingly intelligent design to minimize commuter confusion, contingency routing for emergencies, pedestrian detour accommodation, and everything else necessary to ensure thorough precision.
Permitting and Regulatory Compliance
For every lane closure project, Roadway Construction must form a unique partnership. That partnership is with the government – city, county, and state. You see, prior to project commencement, we must obtain permits from these authorities. Which is why traffic control permit acquisition is one of our core services. Over the years, it’s worked out well. Roadway Construction Service enjoys long-established, highly productive relationships with Caltrans, LADOT, and other governmental agencies. These important relationships help streamline and expedite the permit acquisition process from start to finish.
Equipment & Barricades for Lane Closures and Detours
As you might expect, specific equipment is needed to establish lane closures and detours. This hardware helps ensure visibility, flow control, and worker safety. And what type of equipment comes into play for these occasions? Typically, Traffic Safety Barricades. These include: Type I, II, and III barricades, K rail (both concrete and water filled), arrow boards and changeable message signs, and channelizers, delineators and cones. Not surprisingly, Traffic Safety Barricades and the associated traffic control equipment rental and sales are critical components of our closure setups.
