Traffic management will be provided by WCBC, usually a high speed lane closure of full shutdown depending on the location. Occasionally works programs do include weekend working but normal hours will be 19:30 to 3:30 Monday to Friday. Day time works may be required to run simultaneously with a separate gang.
