Effective Management of CBD Roadworks in Western Australia: Minimizing Traffic Disruption

DESCRIPTION

In December 2012, the State Government recognized the need for a coordinated approach to manage large-scale roadworks projects in the CBD of Western Australia, including Elizabeth Quay, Perth City Link, and Perth Stadium. The CBD Roadworks Steering Group was established to minimize traffic disruption, serve as a primary information source, and facilitate stakeholder engagement. This program emphasizes timely communication, innovative traffic management solutions, and the optimization of traffic signal performance, ensuring minimal disruption for the public while executing essential infrastructure projects.

  8. Notice Requirements • Inadequate time to review TM proposals • TM is an important requirement – seems to be left to last minute • MRWA have notice requirements for lane closures and for advertising requirements • We need time to consider other options…..

  9. Innovative Thinking • Night work and double shifts – get in, get out • Full road closures – If required we can examine closing the road for the entire weekend or number of nights. More pain but not dragged out • Close the road completely over a long weekend or during school holidays • Close one lane at a time – keep access open • Build temporary roads on the ultimate alignment - Gateway • What's best for the travelling public? – Not always the best for the construction program

  10. Lessons Learnt • Generally Project Managers are focused on the Project e.g. Cost, Time etc. • TM is a very important part of the Project • We can assist if given enough time • Projects can be moved if agencies are given enough time • Approval for TMP’s is not a given and the process takes time. We can assist with TMP’s and considering alternative options • AWTM, RTM, PM, Traffic signal experts, Councils, sit down early and discuss issues – Establish working group to open lines of Communication • Use lessons learnt from other projects – traffic volumes may seem high but there are always options, Each situation is unique
