There is not enough horizontal room for 2 way traffic and the drill crane to install the soldier piles. The drill crane requires 25 feet from back of pile hole to the counterbalance of the machine and then an estimated 2 feet for a jersey barrier to be place between machine and traffic. Please see attached drawing. Can the contractor use Phase 2 Traffic Control Plan, Sheet 1 of 2, during the installation of the piles?
Yes, the detour and closure of both northbound lanes can be used during pile installation in Phase 1. Use of the detour during Phase 1 will be limited to 30 consecutive days. An updated plan sheets show a new Phase 1A which includes this configuration will be added in Amendment A001.
