• Abstract:
  A major issue in transportation projects is capacity reduction due to lane closures. Calculating capacity for a specific project can be done using information from the Highway Capacity Manual, but how often should a lane closure be expected is still not well studied. In this preliminary research project, we present the percentages that a lane closure can be expected in highway resurfacing projects and in major bridge projects, such as replacement and structural improvements. These values, combined with the capacity of the highway segment and the traffic demand can show us if during construction there will be traffic delays. Further research needs to be made to validate and expand this study.
