These are color coded and separated in the maps beginning on page 91. The intent is to have available detour options as work occurs on the main roads( thoroughfares) and there is the necessity to detour traffic through the local roads. The local roads should always maintain access to local traffic and access to driveways.
The exhibits provide suggested cross streets for transportation management based on field visits conducted in August and October 2016 to verify lane widths were adequate to accommodate the detoured traffic. It should be noted that no singular cross street is recommended for a detour and where possible multiple adjacent roadways are recommended. By providing multiple options for the detour, the impact to the residential cross streets can be minimized. To promote drivers to use the earlier detour options and avoid the majority of drivers waiting until the last cross street before the road closure to detour, it is recommended that variable message signage be provided such that specific road names can be recommended for the detour.
The specific timing and implementation of closures and lane restrictions will be detailed in the maintenance of traffic plan to be submitted by the contractor. Specific conditions and recommendations contained in this traffic management plan will be communicated to the contractor in the construction
