  1. SW Region Construction ConferenceFebruary 19th 2014 Joe Schneider – Work Zone Engineer Traffic Section – SW Region La Crosse Office

  2. Lane Closure System(LCS) An overview

  3. LCS Objectives • Web-based system used to track closures and restrictions on Wisconsin state highways • Facilitate data sharing with WisDOT applications that require lane closure data, such as 511 Traveler Information and Oversize/Overweight (OSOW) permitting • Improve the completeness, reliability, and timeliness of lane closure data on state highways

  4. System Use • What closures should be tracked? • All let projects • Any planned maintenance or permit / utility work closure or restriction • When should closures be entered? • 14 days - Project start, full roadway closure, change in width restriction • 7 days - System ramp closure • 3 days - Lane and service ramp closure

  5. Data Accuracy & Completing Closures • It is critical that all closure information entered in the LCS be accurate • The closure information entered in the LCS is used to: • Provide traveler information through WI’s 511 phone system and website • http://www.511wi.gov/Web/map.aspx?region=southwest • Issue OSOW permits, which has a direct impact on the movement of commerce through WI

  6. Web Address http://transportal.cee.wisc.edu/closures

  7. Closure Walk Through Type of facility (mainline, ramp, bridge or system interchange) Duration type (daily/nightly, weekly, continuous or long term) Closure is either a closure or restriction What’s closed (single lane, left shoulder, left lane, 2 left lanes etc..) If the closure location is not listed, find the closest point and give a direction and distance from Closure location Enter lane width available or height available OSOW Restrictions (place any restrictions that OSOW will use when creating routes / issuing permits) If a full closure is selected, a detour route will need to be entered Other useful information about the closure should be placed in the external facilities box If more than 1 facility will be needed, the add facility button will allow for multiple entries
