Abstract

Information is provided on techniques and procedures used by agencies to improve and speed up maintenance procedures, schedule work, and co-ordinate freeway lane closures. Maintenance of ageing urban freeways is difficult because of the high volumes of traffic on these facilities. This report of the Transportation Research Board describes techniques and procedures that highway agencies are using, such as reducing work time and scheduling work for off-peak periods, to minimise traffic delays while freeway maintenance is performed.
