provide and maintain, during execution of the work, a passage for traffic either

along a part of the existing carriageway under improvement, or along a temporary

diversion constructed close to the highway. The Contractor shall take prior approval

of the Engineer regarding traffic arrangements during construction.

1.2.1 Passage of Traffic along a part of the Existing Carriage way under

diversion or part width of the carriageway) the channel for traffic shall be clearly

marked with the aid of pavement markings, painted drums or a similar device to the

directions of the Engineer. At night, the passage shall be delineated with lanterns or

other suitable light source.

One-way traffic operation shall be established whenever the traffic is to be passed

over part of the carriage way inadequate for two-lane traffic. This shall be done with

the help of temporary traffic signals or flagmen kept positioned on opposite sides
