6. Maintain a minimum of one lane of traffic in each direction at all times on M-29. (And all intersecting roads and ramps, except where detoured.)

7. No more than 1 lane closure is allowed on M-29 at a time on all signalized side roads.

A. The maximum closure length is one mile unless otherwise approved by the Engineer.

8. Left turns may need to be restricted at intersections based on the engineer’s discretion.

9. Coordinate with MDOT approved lane closures, detours, and projects on M-29. If you need the project engineer’s contact to coordinate, please contact Kevin Klucens (Klucensk1@michigan.gov)

e. Traffic General.

1. For any lane open to traffic, provide a minimum lane width of 11 feet with 2 feet of shy distance on both sides unless identified otherwise on plans.

2. Do not close lanes or utilize traffic regulation sequences where work can be accomplished with a shoulder closure. Do not occupy any part of the active traffic lane with personnel or equipment when utilizing a shoulder closure. Place lane closures and traffic regulation operations only in areas as show on the plans unless otherwise directed by the Engineer.

3. Prior to shifting traffic onto shoulders or opening any lanes/shoulders and/or ramps, remove, by sweeping all accumulated debris that has collected within the shoulder and/or within the closed lane/shoulder.

4. A speed reduction will not be used.

5. Develop and submit to the Engineer an Internal Traffic Control Plan (ITCP) per subsection 104.11.B of the Standard Specifications for Construction. The requirements listed herein are the requirements for a Type A ITCP. Submit the Type A ITCP at the preconstruction mailto:Klucensk1@michigan.gov

Macomb TSC:KRK 4 of 6 6/3/25 meeting. The Engineer will have 7 calendar days to review the ITCP for approval or provide comments for revisions required to obtain approval. Include in the ITCP, at a minimum, the proposed ingress/egress locations for construction equipment and vehicles, traffic control devices that will be utilized to warn the motoring public of ingress/egress locations, and measures that will be taken to ensure compliance with the ITCP. Ensure that the ITCP minimizes conflicts between construction vehicles and motorists and maintains overall safety and mobility within the work zone. No work may begin prior to approval of the ITCP. Additional time required to obtain an approved ITCP will not be cause for delay or impact claims. All costs associated with obtaining an approved ITCP, providing and executing all parts of the approved ITCP including required traffic control devices, or resolving an incomplete or unacceptable ITCP will be borne by the Contractor.

6. Upon approval of the ITCP, complete and submit the “Lane Closure

Notification/Request Form or approved equal” to the Engineer for approval prior to the actual closure date. Submit the lane closure request 7 calendar days in advance of the lane closure for approval. This includes all shifts/shoulder/lane/ramp closures as stated per the proposal or any new lane closure requests submitted by the Contractor. The Engineer will have 4 calendar days to review the lane closure request for approval or provide comments for revisions required to obtain approval. Do not implement a lane closure prior to approval by the Engineer. In addition, notify the Engineer when the lane closure is removed or cancelled.

See Lane Closure Notification/Request Form contained in the proposal.

7. The Engineer will be responsible for notifying emergency services, transit agencies, law enforcement and schools prior to any lane closures, detours or major traffic shifts. In addition, the Contractor will be responsible for working with and complying with any coordination that is necessary with the Department and emergency services, transit agencies, law enforcement and schools. All costs associated with these coordination efforts will be considered included in the pay item “Traffic Control Inclusive”.

8. Obtain all necessary permits from local governments within areas of local jurisdiction, including noise/dust ordinance waivers when required, prior to placing construction signing on local roads.

A. The Department will reimburse permit costs in accordance with subsection

107.02.A of the Standard Specification for Construction. Adhere to all requirements made by local maintaining agencies regarding placement of traffic control devices prior to closing lanes on roadways not under MDOT jurisdiction.

9. Remove all temporary traffic control devices from MDOT right-of-way during any shut down periods unless needed for directly maintaining or channelizing traffic. No additional payment will be made for removal and/or redeployment of these devices except for in the case of an approved extension of time.

10. Cover or remove construction signing that refers to work zone speed when work at a location is planned to be inactive for a period greater than 2 days, unless otherwise specified on the plans or as directed by the Engineer.

11. Once work is initiated that includes any lane restrictions, that work must be continued daily until completed. A lack of work activity for more than 3 days will require the removal of lane closures at no expense to the Department.
