STATIC CLOSURES

Where the duration of the works exceeds 15 minutes at a particular location or where the extent of the works area is not limited to a single location or activity, the only option is to use Static Lane Closures. Static Lane Closures can facilitate multiple activities being carried out under the one closure over a maximum distance of 5kms. These closures are generally carried out during off peak hours.

Chapter 8 of the Traffic Signs Manual provides guidance on the permitted traffic volumes there-by ensuring that free-flowing traffic conditions are being maintained when setting up the traffic management. The main advantage for using this technique is the provision of a clearly defined longitudinal and lateral safety zone for the works area/work force.

We have the capability to carry out multiple day or night-time Static Lane Closures on any Dual Carriageway or Motorway throughout Ireland.
