5. Maintain a minimum of one lane of traffic in each direction at all times on M-54 (and all intersecting roads and ramps, except where detoured.)

6. Maintain a minimum of one lane of traffic in each direction at all times on all signalized side roads.

7. No more than one closure will be allowed in each direction of travel at the same time.

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

Engineer.

8. Close any dedicated lanes (exit, ramp, turn, etc.) prior to the location under construction.

9. When a lane is closed, place channelizing devices at cross streets and major drives to form a radius that clearly defines the approaches to the through and turning traffic.

10. Failure to meet the traffic restrictions described herein will result in the assessment of liquidated damages for other Department costs per subsection 108.10.C.2 of the Standard Specifications for Construction.

11. Restrict access to M-54 from side roads for short durations at specific locations as the

Engineer directs or approves. Where an intersection is closed or partially closed, allow the adjacent intersections one block to the north and south to remain open to traffic, unless otherwise approved by the Engineer.

12. Maintain access to all driveways as directed by the Engineer unless prior agreements are made with the respective property owners. The cost of constructing driveways part width will not be paid for separately but will be considered included in the cost of other driveway pay items.

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 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.

7. Protect the work area at the end of each day. Close all open access points on the project to traffic with Type III barricades or other devices approved by the Engineer.

8. 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 “Minor Traf Devices”.

9. 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.

10. 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.

11. 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.

12. 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.

f. Traffic Regulator Control.

1. Crossroads should remain open to traffic at all times. Use intermediate traffic regulators at each intersection approach and commercial driveways within the closure limits, as directed by the Engineer. Use traffic regulator control as directed by the Engineer for cross street traffic while paving through intersections.

2. Follow the Michigan Traffic Regulator’s Instruction Manual for operations at signalized intersections. Contact the MDOT region electrician or applicable maintaining agency prior to work on traffic signals. Only the MDOT region electrician or applicable maintaining agency may make changes to the traffic signal controllers.

g. Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) Work.

1. Resurface all HMA milled areas the same day as the HMA cold milling operation.

2. No traffic is allowed on the HMA milled surface, unless directed by the Engineer.

H. Traffic Control Devices. Ensure all traffic control devices are in accordance with the

MMUTCD and must meet the “acceptable” criteria as defined in the ATSSA publication entitled “Quality Guidelines for Temporary Traffic Control Devices and Features” at the time of initial deployment and after each major stage change.

1. During non-working periods, place applicable advance signs and channelizing devices at specific locations, as directed by the Engineer, at no additional cost to the Department.

2. Notify the Engineer 24 hours in advance of when traffic control devices are being delivered to the project site, to allow for initial inspection of devices to take place.

3. Remove from the project site all traffic control devices (including detour signing) no longer needed for a particular operation and equipment for construction within 10 calendar days of reopening the shoulder/lane/roadway.

4. Channelizing Devices.

A. Ensure all devices have sufficient ballast to prevent moving or tipping. If moving or tipping occurs, place additional ballast, as directed by the Engineer, at no additional cost to the Department. No more than two ballasts are allowed on each channelizing device.

B. Do not use caution tape on channelizing devices for traffic control and/or pedestrian traffic control on this project.

5. Temporary Signs.

A. Additional W20-1 (ROAD WORK AHEAD) signs are included in the quantities to be placed on all intersecting or adjacent roads where construction activities may be encountered.

6. Portable Changeable Message Signs (PCMS’s). Use PCMS’s to warn traffic of upcoming and changing traffic control during the life of the project. Obtain approval from the Engineer for all sign locations.

A. Install PCMS’s and make them operational a minimum of 7 calendar days prior to the start of work, unless otherwise directed by the Engineer. Messages displayed on the PCMS’s must conform to MDOT’s policy on PCMS’s. Notify the Engineer if displaying a different message than those listed below for the project.

B. Do not leave PCMS’s with a blank screen within the clear zone of any roadway at any time. Remove the PCMS or display flashing dots in each corner of the screen when there is no message to display. Update the PCMS messages at the end of each work period to reflect current traffic lane restrictions.

I. Temporary Pavement Markings.

1. Remove conflicting pavement markings, pavement markings in taper/transition areas and other markings as directed by the Engineer, for operations occupying a location longer than 3 days. Durable markings in these areas should be covered rather than be removed.

2. Quantities for temporary tape to be placed during paving operations are based on the

MDOT PAVE 900 Series standard plans.

3. When Type R or NR tape is used, ensure that all temporary pavement markings adhere to the pavement surface until permanent markings are installed.

4. Complete temporary pavement markings in each stage prior to shifting traffic as directed by the Engineer.
