Maintenance or construction work which requires closing all the main lanes of an urban freeway creates a need for special traffic management techniques. Field studies were conducted at three freeway closures in Houston to observe traffic operations and identify problem areas and successful management strategies. The report presents general operational guidelines and recommendations based on the findings of the three field studies. The guidelines are not intended to provide information on all aspects of traffic control at freeway closure work zones. Rather, they were intended to supplement standard work zone traffic control procedures. The guidelines are organized into four broad categories: Advance Planning; Advance Notification; Traffic Management; and Law Enforcement.
