Lane closures are one of the most common forms of temporary traffic management, allowing essential works to take place on multi-lane carriageways while keeping traffic moving safely. They are used when part of the carriageway needs to be restricted, but a full road closure is not required. At CHM Group, we provide fully compliant lane closure solutions across both high-speed and low-speed networks, ensuring safety, efficiency, and minimal disruption.
 

Lane closures are carefully designed and installed in line with Chapter 8 regulations, taking into account traffic volumes, road type, speed limits, and visibility. This ensures the work area is fully protected while giving clear and safe guidance to all road users.
 

Why Lane Closures Are Used

• Utility works and maintenance – when repairs or installations require access to part of the carriageway.

• Resurfacing and construction – providing safe working space while maintaining traffic flow in adjacent lanes.

• Protecting road users and workers – creating a safe buffer zone between live traffic and the work area.

• Emergency repairs – enabling rapid response to carriageway damage or hazards without closing the full road.

• Event management – keeping traffic moving safely during events that affect sections of the highway.
