Title: Colorado DOT Region 6 Lane Closure Strategy, 2nd edition
Abstract: The intent of this strategy is to establish uniform criteria and authoritative guidance for scheduling lane closures in Region 6. The strategy was formulated in order to strike an appropriate balance between delays to the traveling public in the work zone and the cost of construction and maintenance. It is applicable to single lane closures related to construction and maintenance activities on roads controlled by the Colorado Department of Transportation. It is based on extensive data collection and estimates of queues and delays expected during lane closures. The strategy addresses weekday and weekend traffic demand and considers temporal variations in traffic volume by direction occurring over a typical 24-hour period. This strategy is expected to improve the quality of lane closure decisions, simplify the decision process for the end user and reduce the amount of uncertainty associated with handling traffic during construction.
