WIDTH RESTRICTIONS

Eff. 12-07-1999 Rev. 4-27-2021

The work within this contract will cause a width restriction requiring notification a minimum of 21 days prior to the actual width restriction and/or event requiring “Maximum Width” signing. All “Maximum Width” signing shall be furnished, erected, maintained and removed by the Contractor for placement at the locations shown within the contract plans.

Width restrictions shall be interpreted as any change in the existing horizontal clearance caused by the placement of physical barrier(s) that extend above the pavement surface. Width restrictions less than 17’-6” (Barrier to Barrier) shall be reported and signed on all roadways. Width restrictions of 17’-6” to 30’-0” on Interstate or multilane roadways shall be reported. Construction activities which close a lane with operating equipment, or with drums, barricades, or cones, will be considered as width restrictions.

Notification of width restriction requires a minimum of 21 days before the actual restriction is placed to ensure specific routed over-width permitted loads are not sent through the restriction site. The Contractor shall notify the Resident Engineer a minimum of 21 days prior to the width restriction. In the notification, the Contractor shall include the location, scheduled restriction start date, road restriction width(s)/closure, proposed posted width (i.e. Barrier to Barrier width minus 18 inches).

The Contractor is advised he will not be allowed to install the width restriction without the 21 day notice and failure to provide proper notice will delay the installation of the width restriction.

The notice of width restriction is considered a part of the Contractor’s approved work schedule and is the Contractor’s responsibility to provide proper notice. Delays caused by failure to provide notice shall not be considered justification for work day additions or completion date extensions.

All work associated with the furnishing, erecting, maintaining, and removal of Width Restriction Signing will be paid for at the contract Lump Sum Price for WIDTH RESTRICTION SIGNING.
