Go Traffic Management are specialists in high-speed solutions, demonstrated in a recent project for Murphy Group. They’ve invested millions in the latest plant and equipment, including a fleet of IPV’s.
At the request of the client Murphy Group, Go Traffic Management undertook the high-speed lane closures on the Rainford Bypass. The closures were required to enable Murphy Group to carry out necessary rail infrastructure rehabilitation and repairs. The works were part of the Great North Rail Project, addressing repairs to the railway bridge spanning the Rainford Bypass (A570) in St Helens, Merseyside.
The closure of high-speed traffic lanes was particularly challenging due to the planning and timing restraints. The client needed to adhere to a broader programme plan than was agreed with the Great North Rail Project.
Further challenges included workforce safety, ensuring relevant traffic management solutions were put in place to protect Murphy workforce whilst undertaking railway bridge repairs. A key aim for Go Traffic Management was to maintain traffic flow. The demand of the A570 as a commuter route is high, overcoming this challenge was vital to the success of the project.
