ECI – Engineers Construction

Many of our projects require a formal written traffic control  plan.  Obviously it serves as a guide for us.  But frequently the roadway owner (city or state) wants to know the details of our plan and to provide concurrence and approval prior to installation.  Additionally, VTrans typically requires the Traffic Control Plan to be prepared by a registered professional engineer.

The following components and details should be provided in a Traffic Control Plan:

• Title Sheet – Project Name, Roadway Name, Mile Post, Client Name, Roadway Owner, Contractor Name, Designer, Date
• Project Background and Description
• Project Schedule, Sequence, and Phasing
• Traffic Control Requirements (detour, lane closures, lane width restrictions, shoulder closures, etc.)
• Special Safety Measures (UTOs, speed limit reductions, lighting, etc.)
• Duties and Authority of Specific Personnel (or Subcontractor) for Installation, Maintenance, Inspection
• Plan with Details (sign descriptions and locations, flagger locations, cone/barrel locations, etc.)
• Site Specific Traffic Control Devices (radar speed detectors, programmable message boards, crash attenuators, jersey barriers, etc.)
