IV TRAFFIC CONTROL PLAN (TCP) FOR STATION KM 24+550 TO KM 26+700

A.　 PROPOSED ROAD TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT

Overall traffic diversion is shown on the drawing No TCP-1 (Concept of Temporary Road) The concept of traffic control management for this project shall be based on two parts:

- Road Plan of the Construction NH 2B Bridge

+ Embankment Works not along existing public road

+ Interchange # 4 Works

The Contractor shall maintain the public road traffic during the performance of the Works by keeping open to traffic on existing roads or bypass traffic over a detour

Frontage road and temporary road shall be planned at the points of which the travel on existing traffic roads are affected by construction activities

1 Step 1: Temporary Road Plan at the NH 2B Bridge

Following to the tender documents, NH 2B Bridge shall be opened by the March2011 Temporary access road for construction purpose shall be made along the through way from NH 2B ( Old) to NH 2B(New) , Tam Dao, Quang Ha, Dao Tu…as soon as after the commencement of the works until opening of High way The Temporary road and the Frontage road is shown on the drawing No TCP-1and TCP- 2

Traffic control shall be done by proper devices such as sign, barricade, fence, etc Those detail plans shall be designed and provided according to actual site condition Flow Chart on “Sequence of Traffic Connection” is shown as follows:

2.2 Interchange # 4 Works

During the construction of #4 interchange, the existing road shall be fully diverted as shown on the attached drawing No TCP-1~2 This Frontage road shall be maintained through out construction period except the area affected to the permanent works In this area, proposed frontage road shall be modified according to the work

In order to minimize disruption to traffic flows, the Contractor shall enclose the site with temporary fence to provide a visual barrier between the work area and adjacent traffic The movement of men, materials and plant into and out of the barrier area shall

be checked, controlled by flagman or security

Traffic Control Management

In order to comply with requirement of tight working schedule, the following process is basically proposed as a working sequence All the existing traffic will be diverted to the temporary road and frontage road through out construction period However, in area where the frontage road is crossing the working area, secondary diversion shall be applied The area and period of this diversion is limited

Sign panels, barricades, cones, vertical panels and other traffic control devices shall be set to ensure safety of traffic at detour roads or at the intersection between existing road and diversion roads Flagman shall be provided if required

Guide for traffic and regulate the facilities going and coming through the construction area shall be provided in conformity with the traffic line
