Description of work

Open-cut installation of underground electrical conduit crossing beneath paved portion of Fernwood Drive to complete FortisBC transformer service for [INSERT DEVELOPMENT NAME]. Field conditions confirmed existing conduit shown on design drawings is absent. Work includes excavation, conduit/casing installation per Utility Policy Manual, backfill, compaction, and pavement restoration per MoTI Standard Specifications.

Work type: Stationary, short-to-long duration (single shift target)

Lanes affected: Full width — total segment closure

Maximum delay: Road closed to through traffic for duration of excavation and pavement restore (residents access via alternate Fernwood connections — see detour)

2. PROJECT CATEGORY

Category 1 — Two-lane, two-way local road; low-to-moderate volume; short-duration utility work; segment closure with established detour routes at both Fernwood access points.

Per TMM Section 3.4.1: Category 1 TMP required. Incident Management Plan required (total road closure). Public Information Plan recommended (closure > 10 minutes). Implementation Plan required (IMP included).

3. SITE FACTORS

| Road alignment | [INSERT — straight / curves / grades] |

| Road type | Two-lane, two-way, undivided, paved |

| ADT | Low volume residential (< 1,000 vpd estimated) |

| Sight distance | [INSERT — adequate / limited at curves] |

| Approaches | Two access/exit points on Fernwood allowing detour without trapping residents |

| Shoulders | [INSERT] |

| Land use | Residential — RDCK Area J |

| Intersections | Fernwood × [INSERT CROSS ST 1] and Fernwood × [INSERT CROSS ST 2] |

| Cyclists/pedestrians | [INSERT — low / occasional] |

| Weather | Work scheduled [INSERT SEASON]; monitor for rain — steel plate or delay if excavation cannot be backfilled same day |

Hazards and mitigation

| Open excavation | Full road closure — no traffic over trench |

| Residential access | Detour via alternate Fernwood access; local traffic signage if needed |

| Emergency vehicles | IMP procedures below; barricades positioned for emergency access if directed |

| Equipment on roadway | Confined to closed segment only |

4. TRAFFIC CONTROL PLAN

4.1 Layout reference

Primary: TMM 2020 Figure 19.3 — Roadway Closure, Two-Lane Two-Way Roadway

At each Fernwood access intersection: Figure 19.6 — Roadway Closure with Detour (≤ 60 km/h)

4.2 Closure configuration

[CROSS ST 1]─────── Fernwood Drive ───────[CROSS ST 2]
                      │
    ◄── DETOUR ──     │     ── DETOUR ──►
    (via alt route)   │     (via alt route)
                      │

              │  WORK ZONE    │
              │  (open cut)   │
              │  Type 3 bar.  │

• Barricades: Type 3, spanning full roadway width at both ends of work zone (19.3 Standard)
• No through traffic within closed segment
• Residents: Access properties from the open end of Fernwood beyond each barricade
• Detour: Through traffic routed at [CROSS ST 1] and [CROSS ST 2] per Figure 19.6

4.3 Sign and device schedule — work zone (Figure 19.3)

Spacing per Table A / Table B at [INSERT POSTED SPEED] km/h:

Location	Sign / device	Code	Notes

| Advance warning (both approaches) | Construction Ahead | C-018-1A | Distance A upstream |

| Advance warning | Road Closed Ahead | C-030-6A | Optional but recommended |

| Advance warning | Prepare to Stop | C-029 | At closure approach |

| Advance warning | Construction Speed Limit | R-004 | 50 km/h max per 19.3 Guidance |

| Closure barricade | Road Closed | R-012 | On Type 3 barricade |

| Closure barricade | No Through Traffic | R-009-1 | With R-012 assembly |

| Closure barricade (option) | Checkerboard | C-114 | Better stop compliance |

| Termination | End Road Work | C-080 | Downstream of work zone |

| Termination | Resume Speed / Thank You | C-086-1 | Opposite lane |

Device spacing (≤ 50 km/h reference): Sign spacing A = 40 m; Buffer B = 30 m; Taper devices C = 10 m

4.4 Detour signing — access intersections (Figure 19.6)

Install at [CROSS ST 1] and [CROSS ST 2] before closure goes live:

Sign	Code	Purpose

| Road Closed Ahead | C-030-6A | First sign on approach to closed segment |

| Detour Ahead | C-006-L or C-006-R | Direction of detour route |

| Detour | C-005-LR1 | At turn onto detour |

| Turn Control | R-015-L/R | Prevent turns into closed segment |

| Road Closed + Detour | R-012 + C-005 | On barricade if closure at intersection |

Detour route description:

• From north/west access ([CROSS ST 1]): [INSERT — e.g. turn R on Killough Rd → Lucas Rd → reconnect Fernwood south of work zone]
• From south/east access ([CROSS ST 2]): [INSERT reverse route]

Attach marked map or Google Earth screenshot as Appendix A.

4.5 TCP requirements

• Figure 19.3 shows Peace Officer or TCP at turnaround/barricade locations to assist vehicles if needed
• Minimum: 1 TCP at each barricade during active work, or as determined by TCP supervisor
• All TCPs: WorkSafeBC-certified, hi-vis apparel per TMM Section 5.4.3
• Communications: radio or cell between TCPs and site supervisor

4.6 Speed management

• Construction speed limit 50 km/h maximum in advance warning area (19.3 Guidance)
• Remove all reduced-speed signing when work complete and road reopened

4.7 Off-hours / overnight

If excavation cannot be completed same day:

• Backfill and steel plate per TMM Section 6.5.2 (≤ 60 km/h), OR
• Maintain full closure with barricades and night lighting on TCP stations if TCPs used
• Target: same-day backfill and pavement restore (Permit Condition 35)

4.8 Installation and removal order

Per TMM Section 6.7 — install upstream signs first, then barricades/tapers, then downstream termination. Remove in reverse order; remove upstream detour signs last.
