Challenge
Major resurfacing works on a 12km stretch of the M1 Pacific Motorway needed to happen during off-peak windows without disrupting freight movement or commuter flow. The site spanned multiple interchanges and required coordination with three separate contractor crews working in shifts.
Solution
We developed a rolling lane-closure plan with staged signage, dynamic message boards, and dedicated on-site supervision. Our TGS designers produced traffic guidance schemes for each shift, and our controllers ran nightly handovers with the project manager to keep crews aligned and motorists informed.
Results
The works completed two weeks ahead of schedule with zero incidents recorded across 47 nights of operation. Average peak-hour delay during the closures was under 4 minutes, and the project came in 6% under the traffic management budget.
NSWTC ran a tight operation. Their planning meant we never had to stop work to redo a lane setup, and their controllers handled every shift handover without us having to chase. Easily the smoothest TM job we've run on the M1.
