1. Purpose and Need

This memorandum presents guidelines for pre-determined allowable lane closure hours along any VDOT maintained roadway associated with all construction, maintenance, permits, and special events throughout Northern Virginia.

2. Background

The initial version of the lane closure guidelines was issued in April 2012 with a subsequent update issued in September 2016. Over the past eight years, in addition to new roadways and traffic signals accepted into the system, increased volumes and changes to traffic patterns, several significant roadway construction projects have been completed throughout the NOVA

District including, but not limited to, extensions of the I-95, I-395 and I-495 express lanes, I-66

ITB tolling program and the addition of new express lanes along I-66 OTB. As the guidelines are applied and implemented, modifications and updates to these guidelines become necessary.

Similar to previous versions, the modifications have been made based on available current daily traffic volumes; roadway characteristics; application on previous projects; and consideration of the effect to the traveling public for the lane closure(s) during certain time periods of the day.

These guidelines shall be used as a starting point for discussion at the project level. On large scale projects with robust community outreach and a Traffic Management Plan, these hours could be adjusted and extended. If project staff would like to modify the hours for interstates, primaries, major arterials or high-volume secondary roadways they must work with NOVA District Traffic

Operations staff for recommendations and obtain final approval from their functional ADA/ADE.

3. Effective Date

The guidelines are effective upon release. Please review existing project contracts and special limitation of operations and discuss the deviations from these hours with your functional

ADA/ADE.

4. Restriction of Operations:

In addition to the allowable lane closure hours specified in the tables, the restrictions listed below shall be followed.

4.1. Peak Period Lane Closures

Peak periods for all roadways shall universally be defined as the following hours:

• Monday through Thursday o 5:00 AM to 9:30 AM and o 3:00 PM to 7:30 PM

• Friday o 5:00 AM to 9:30 AM and o 2:00 PM to 7:30 PM

Any lane reductions (temporary or permanent) during those peak periods on roadways with an AADT equal to or above 5,000 vehicles require consultation with NOVA District

Traffic Operations, notification of NOVA Public Affairs and final approval from the functional

ADA/ADE.

Lane Closure Guidelines – 2/29/2024 VDOT – NOVA

5 | P a g e

4.2. Complete Roadway Closures

All complete road closures of any roadway and/or ramp for construction, maintenance or permit work requires consultation with NOVA District Traffic Operations and notification of

NOVA Public Affairs.

Allowable complete roadway closures shall be limited to no more than 20 minutes of intermittent stoppage for some specific work activities.

In addition to consultation with NOVA District Traffic Operations and Public Affairs notification, all complete roadway closures exceeding 20 minutes shall require coordination and final approval from the Functional ADA/ADE and proper advance notification for the traveling public.

If the complete closure duration exceeds 30 minutes, a signed detour route may also be required and approved separately by Traffic Engineering with an MOT and TMP.

4.3. General Restrictions

Lane closures of any kind will not be permitted during inclement weather or emergency situations.

Lane and/or shoulder closures shall not begin if heavy traffic or significant queuing and backups are already present along the roadway(s).

All lane and/or shoulder closures shall be completely removed on a daily and/or nightly basis with lanes being fully open to traffic at all times beyond the allowable and/or approved lane closure hours.

The applicant/contractor shall be properly trained and responsible for maintaining all project lane closure information or any work within VDOT right-of-way on LCAMS and

VaTraffic / 511 throughout the duration of the project in accordance with IIM-OD-16-03, dated December 16, 2016.

All requests for deviation from the allowable lane closure hours must be submitted to

VDOT NOVA District Traffic Operations for review a minimum of fourteen (14) days in advance of work for consideration.

4.4. Construction in Residential Subdivisions

Road work within residential subdivisions and/or cul-de-sac streets should be conducted during daytime hours to avoid nighttime noise issues.

Extended daytime and all nighttime work shall adhere to any applicable local noise ordinances and require sufficient advance public notifications.

4.5. Express Lanes (I-66 OTB, I-95, I-395 and I-495)

All I-66 OTB, I-95, I-395 and I-495 Express Lane closures shall be coordinated with and require separate approvals from the applicable Express Lanes Operator. While this approval process may run concurrently with VDOT approval, advance notification with the

Lane Closure Guidelines – 2/29/2024 VDOT – NOVA

6 | P a g e specific operator is needed. Closures impacting access points to and from the Express

Lanes from other roadways shall also require coordination with the operator.

Complete road closures of I-66 OTB, I-95, I-395 and I-495 Express Lanes will be limited to 30 minutes or less.

4.6. Interstate Ramps

All interstate ramps shall be limited to the same daytime and/or nighttime allowable lane closure hours as the adjacent interstate. For single lane ramps requiring a full closure to safely conduct work, hours will be restricted to the same nighttime full roadway closure hours of the adjacent interstate and require an approved signed detour route.

4.7. All Other Ramps

All other ramps not connected to an interstate shall be restricted to the same single lane closure hours as the adjacent roadway. Single lane ramps requiring a full closure to safely conduct work, hours will be limited to nighttime hours only and require an approved signed detour route.

4.8. Non-VDOT Maintained Roadways

All roadways not maintained by VDOT shall be required to notify and coordinate with the respective jurisdiction and/or entity overseeing the maintenance and operation of the respective roadway for approval. Non-VDOT maintained roadway include, but are not limited to, the following:

- George Washington Memorial Parkway the entire length of roadway between

Route 235 (Mount Vernon Memorial Highway) and I-495 o Maintained and operated by National Park Service/NPS

- Route 267 between I-495 and Route 28 / Dulles International Airport [aka Dulles

5. Exception Process:

When the need for extended lane closures beyond the limits of the applicable allowable hours becomes necessary, an email shall be submitted to the following email address for review and consideration:

NOVAlaneclosureexceptions@VDOT.Virginia.gov

All requests for extended lane closure hours require the following information for a thorough and timely response:

• Location

• Specific lanes to be closed

• Type of work

• Date(s)

• Time(s)

• Overall duration

Depending on the initial review, further discussion, analysis, reviews and/or coordination may be necessary. The process may also include the DTOD and other ADA/ADE’s as applicable. Once extended lane closure hours have been agreed upon and supported by NOVA District Traffic

Operations, a formal response will be provided. Depending on the type of closure and the roadway(s) impacted, a final approval may be required from the functional ADA/ADE or an authorized designee.

Additionally, all approved extended lane closures should be coordinated through NOVA District

Public Affairs and the applicable Land Use and Transportation Director’s office for situational awareness.

Once the exception process has been completed and it was determined that NOVA District Traffic

Operations was unable to support nor recommend the closure for approval, the applicant can then discuss directly with their functional ADA/ADE. The functional ADA/ADE can choose to override

NOVA District Traffic Operations recommendation and approve the closure taking full ownership and responsibility for the direction.
