Lane & shoulder closures

Safe closures on live roads

Lane, shoulder and contraflow management without losing control of the road

Closing a lane or shoulder on a live road is one of the highest-risk moments in traffic management. Our lane closure traffic management is planned to your approved Traffic Guidance Scheme, so closures go in safely, hold for the length of the works, and come out again without incident.

We manage full and partial lane closures, shoulder closures, and contraflow arrangements, with signage, cones, barriers and where needed variable message signs positioned to give road users clear, early warning. Crews are positioned to keep both the workforce and passing traffic protected for the duration of the closure.

Because conditions on live roads change quickly, our lane closure traffic control is actively monitored for the length of the shift, not just set up and left, with GPS-verified inspections confirming the closure is holding as approved.

Yes, VMS boards and advance signage are available and positioned to give drivers clear, early warning of the closure ahead. See our VMS board hire options.
