M62 Junction 25-30 Managed Motorways
‘Eliminating the need for Road Workers to undertake live Carriageway Crossings’
The M62 Junction 25-30 Managed Motorway project is paving the way for better road worker safety by becoming the first major project in the country to deliver zero carriageway crossings as part of the Highway Agency’s ‘Aiming for Zero’ strategy.
This two year scheme to transform a section of the M62 in West Yorkshire into a managed motorway would normally necessitate road workers crossing the live carriageways an estimated 70,000 times in order to maintain, erect and dismantle temporary traffic signs over 60 Kilometers of M62 carriageway and adjoining M1 / M621 / M606 .
Under a new Five Point Plan pioneered by joint venture contractors BAM Nuttall and Morgan Sindall (bmJV) and supply chain partners Chevron Traffic Management and Morelock Signs the traffic management team will not be required to undertake live carriageway crossings to install or maintain the TM equipment. The Five Point Plan is the result of collaborative working between the above partners and it is hoped that it will become industry standard in other Major Projects over the next few years.
