INTERCHANGE # 4 FROM 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 TemporaryRoad) The concept of traffic control management for this project shall be based on twoparts:

- Road Plan of the Construction NH 2B Bridge

- Diversion in two (2) typical construction sites:

+ Embankment Works not along existing public road

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

Following to the tender documents, NH 2B Bridge shall be opened by the March 2011 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 thecommencement 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 Step 2: Frontage Road Planning at Interchange # 4 Construction Site ( Km 24+550 To

Km 26+700)

2.1 Embankment Works not along existing public road

There are no existing public road running along the embankment working area fromKm: 24+500 to Km: 26+ 700 Therefore, the temporary frontage road is built along thethrough way for the purpose of construction only

The Contractor shall arrange supervisors to assure for the safety duringconstruction, using, maintenance and protection

2.2 Interchange # 4 Works

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

In order to minimize disruption to traffic flows, the Contractor shall enclose the sitewith temporary fence to provide a visual barrier between the work area and adjacenttraffic 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 isbasically proposed as a working sequence All the existing traffic will be diverted to thetemporary road and frontage road through out construction period However, in areawhere the frontage road is crossing the working area, secondary diversion shall beapplied The area and period of this diversion is limited

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

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

Traffic shall also be instructed in proper manner to ensure construction progress of thesite and absolute safety for the vehicles and people

The following device and facilities shall be prepared to control the traffic in safetymanner and they shall be removed depending on the construction activities on site

a) Various kinds of site boarding shall be set to control the traffic and separatethe traffic road away the construction site

b) The flashing light and warning signs shall be installed to draw the attention

of public

c) Flagman will be provided at road intersection if required
