2. Our first unofficial TMPs date back to the early 80s
starting with the XXIII Olympiad in Los Angeles.
In one, we just scared people away. In the second, people disappeared but came back as soon as the Bay Bridge opened.
We certainly want to use our TMP strategies, but we want to be cost-effective.
(strategies used in L.A.)
Media blitz
Lots of commuters left town and rented their homes or parking spaces to olympiad fans
Shifts in Work Week Scheduling
Major Firms Provided Trans., Telecommuting, etc.
Truck Traffic Reduced during Peaks
Rescheduled Highway Maint.
Exclusive Bus Lanes
Restricted Parking
24-Hour Ramp Metering

9. TMPs: Required for all highway work Blanket TMP Major TMP (~5% of Projects)
12. - Based on 0 delay (Const.)
- 5 -15 minutes Delay (Maint.)
- According to District Traffic Managers - eliminates about 90% of potential delay
PROBLEMS
- Const. windows reduced
- More Night work (Urban/Rural)
- Comparative Quality?
- Comparative Safety? Effective Construction Strategies
13. Other Construction Strategies (Cont.) CONSTRUCTION STAGING
DELAY PENALTY -- Hammer for the RE to charge the Contractor ($$$) for late pick-up of the closure .
EXTENDED CLOSURES (e.g. 55-Hour Weekends or 72-Hour Weekdays)
NARROW LANE WIDTHS or USE OF SHOULDERS (PEAK PERIOD)
MOVEABLE BARRIERS
CONTRAFLOW (Crossovers)
CONTINGENCY PLANS (Redundancy) QUICKCHANGE MOVEABLE BARRIER --
USED ON I-710 AND I-10 PROJECTS IN D7QUICKCHANGE MOVEABLE BARRIER --

Caltrans reconstructed pavement in both directions on the
two outside lanes of Interstate 15 (I-15) from Sierra Avenue
in the City of Fontana to the I-215 junction, a 3.4-mile stretch in Devore.
This $15 Million contract began August 2004 and is scheduled for
completion by February 2005. The project utilized accelerated
around-the-clock construction techniques with contractor
incentives that impacted traffic for a shorter period of
time than conventional construction methods.
The extended lane closures took place for only four weeks,
and ended November 2, 2004.
