  • Road closures
  • Detour setup and removal
  • Vehicle, bicycle, and pedestrian detours

Companies must have the ability to provide traffic control services on an as needed basis, 24/7/365, within the limits of Mecklenburg County.

The services generally consist of as-needed temporary traffic control services including the rental of arrow signs and portable changeable message signs (PSMS) for scheduled and emergency infrastructure maintenance and for other events requiring the diversion of traffic, lane closures, or notice to the public.  This includes the placement and removal of traffic control devices by qualified personnel as well as the flagging of traffic.  This will include all materials, equipment, and labor necessary to safely route traffic through CDOT work zones or special event areas.
