Project Classification
Significant Projects shall be:
Any interstate system project which is anticipated to occupy a location for more than 3 days.
Any project on any multilane roadway which is anticipated to occupy a location for more than 3 days where the existing directional DHV ( design
hourly volume) is over 1000 vehicles per hour, per lane, that would close a lane during the peak hours.

TMP’s – Significant Projects
For significant projects, a Transportation Management Plan (TMP) shall be developed that details a strategy to manage the work zone impacts. The TMP will include a Temporary Traffic Control Plan (TTCP) and a Public Information Plan (PIP).
![Page 8: Old Policy – which no one ever seem to have heard of.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649e255503460f94b14888/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Significant Projects - PIP

TTCP Changes
After a project is placed under contract, the contractor may be permitted to develop his own TTCP to be used in lieu of the TTCP provided in the construction plans.
![Page 11: Old Policy – which no one ever seem to have heard of.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649e255503460f94b14888/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
TTCP Changes
The contractor may also be permitted to offer a revision, for approval, to any portion of the existing TTCP. To receive approval for major changes to the TTCP, the contractor must submit his detailed alternate plan or revision to the Project Engineer.
![Page 12: Old Policy – which no one ever seem to have heard of.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649e255503460f94b14888/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

TTCP Changes
The contractor's plans will be approved for use only if the Cabinet and FHWA, if applicable, find that his plan is as good as, or better, than the plan provided in the construction plans.

TTCP Changes Depending on the complexity of the
requested revision, the major change may be processed as a construction revision, change order, or other document satisfying the condition of written approval. Any major change or alternate TTCP must submit to the same level of traffic impact analysis as was required for the initial TMP.
![Page 15: Old Policy – which no one ever seem to have heard of.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649e255503460f94b14888/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
