ROAD CONSTRUCTION REPORTING AND SIGNING FOR VEHICLE WIDTH RESTRICTIONS

Introduction.

The intent of this policy is to provide uniform width restriction signing and reporting to reduce the chances of oversized vehicles, particularly those operating under blanket permits, from becoming entrapped in construction zones.

Construction/Maintenance/Permit Projects Requiring Oversize and Overweight Restrictions.

a) Closures of any roadway, Railroad crossing, Interstate or Freeway Ramps

b) All road construction that restricts the actual measured opening to less than 17' 6".

c) Any construction zone with characteristics that have the potential of creating delays and/or potentially hazardous conditions such as roadways with a high traffic volume or unnecessary merging situations. Any other condition that the Engineer deems necessary to ensure safety should be listed.

Measuring with Restrictions.

To ensure state-wide uniformity, the opening shall be measured as follows:

a) Two fixed structures – Measurement shall be made between the narrowest points of the fixed structures. Fixed structures may include but are not limited to bridge railing, concrete barrier, cable rail, or guard rail.

b) Fixed structure and non-fixed devices or equipment – Measurement shall be made between the two narrowest points of the fixed structure and non-fixed devices when such non-fixed devices cannot easily be moved to accommodate the oversize load.

Such devices or equipment may include snooper truckers, barricades/cones/drums placed to keep traffic away from open holes in the pavement, arrow boards, dynamic message signs, etc.

c) Construction near a fixed structure – Construction activities near a fixed structure may result in a reportable width restriction where is insufficient room for an oversize load to safely move onto the structure.

Reporting.

In order to provide timely information to truckers, all road construction or maintenance activities which result in measured openings for traffic of less than 17' 6" or which involve the closure of any roadway, railroad grade crossing or freeway ramp are to be reported to the Central Bureau of Operations at least 21 days in advance of the date of the restriction start date which may be different from the start date of the project itself. The reporting is to be completed on electronic form OPER 2410 via RCRI.APP.DOT.ILLINOIS.GOV. Complete the Contract Information, Location Information, Duration Information, Restriction Information, Oversize Vehicle Permit Restrictions, and Additional Comments sections of the electronic form.

When using electronic form OPER 2410, the restriction location on interstate routes or other freeways should be identified with mileposts and/or a distance from an identifiable location, such as an intersection of two routes. If the restriction is located a structure, identify the feature crossed. The location of restrictions on conventional highways should be identified with a distance from an identifiable location, such as an intersection of two routes and the From Mile/To Mile fields left blank. If construction is located at a structure, identify the feature crossed. If there are multiple structures with different width restriction dimensions, each structure and restriction must be listed separately. This can be accomplished in the same electronic form.

If the construction and/or width restriction start/stop dates change after being submitted, a revised electronic OPER 2410 form must be submitted.

The width restriction dimension to be listed on electronic form OPER 2410 and used on the width restriction signing should be the actual measured opening less 18". For example, if the actual measured opening is 16' 3", the restriction dimension is to be reported and signed at 14' 9".

A greater deduction than 18" may be taken if, in the opinion of the Engineer, it is warranted due to unusual geometrics or other operational considerations. The dimension listed on form OPER 2410 and used on the signing should reflect the greater deduction.

After completion, the form is to be submitted electronically via RCRI.APP.DOT.ILLINOIS.GOV.

Emergencies or any unusual construction restrictions or closures should be reported immediately.

a) During Normal Business Hours: Call (217) 782-8551. Submittal of OPER 2410 electronically via RCRI.APP.DOT.ILLINOIS.GOV is still required.

b) After Normal Business Hours/ Weekends/ Holidays: Call the Communications Center

(Station 1) at (217) 782-2937. After calling Station 1, submit OPER 2410 electronically via RCRI.APP.DOT.ILLINOIS.GOV.

Signing.

Signing shall be provided whenever the actual measured restriction is less than 17' 6". W12- I102 signs should be placed prior to the beginning of the traffic control where the width restriction occurs. Advance signing (W12-I103) shall also be placed where the roadway intersects with the previous state route and with any major local routes where oversize vehicles are likely to enter the highway. The advance signing must be visible to approaching traffic sufficiently in advance of the intersection to enable oversize trucks to change direction. This may require the use of more than one advance sign at the intersection. The dimensions shown on the signing shall be the actual measured opening less 18" as noted previously. For IDOT let Construction projects the signing shall be paid for as TEMPORARY INFORMATION SIGNING unless the signing is shown in the Maintenance of Traffic or Construction Staging related plan sheets where the signing is considered included in the cost of the traffic control and protection special or expressways pay items.

SELECTIVE CLEARING

Effective: February 8, 2007 Revised: September 1, 2022
