Reducing congestion from road works: Overview summary document

This is an overview report summarising the findings of the research into Road Plating, Temporary Backfill, Rapid Cure Concrete and Other Techniques that could help to reduce the congestion caused by road and street works. This report provides a summary of the work undertaken and the outcomes in each of these areas and provides a toolkit of options for reducing congestion to be considered by road authorities, utility companies and contractors when planning roadworks. It also references the four detailed reports and the guidance notes (‘QWIRC Notes’) produced under the project.
