There has been a change in emphasis from building new facilities to rehabilitation of the nation's highways. However, with traffic levels approaching or exceeding highway capacities, any maintenance work on highways disrupts the traffic resulting in severe congestion, delays and accidents. As a result, various highway agencies are shifting towards nighttime construction and maintenance when traffic densities are relatively low. The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), like other highway agencies, has realized that nighttime work can be an effective solution to congestion problems associated with highway construction and maintenance. The decision to work at night, however, involves a number of complex issues. The research effort attempts to identify important factors which affect decisions concerning nighttime operations. Such factors are obtained as a result of a literature survey and interviews with personnel associated with nighttime operations. Some of these factors include: cost, productivity, quality, safety, congestion, traffic control, noise,human factors, public information and lighting. Each of these factors is evaluated in light of certain nighttime projects in Florida.
