Road Reconstruction Work Zone Management Toward a Green Construction Concept

Author/Presenter: Sudarsana, Dewa Ketut; Sulistio, Harnen; Wicaksono, Achmad; Djakfar, Ludfi
Abstract:

During road reconstruction period, a negative impact was imposed on road users and the surrounding environment. These impacts are the result of the work zone which is used as working space and road reconstruction. This work zone is potential to influence the drivers’ stress and to decrease road traffic performance such as travel delays, congestions and road accidents. Guidelines for green (environmentally friendly) infrastructure defined in New Road Construction Concept (NR2C) in European infrastructure vision 2040 concept, can be used to mitigate this negative impact. Twenty projects of Balai V National Roads Improvement in East Java, and Balai VIII in Bali for fiscal year 2013 is used as a case study. Descriptive method used for the discussion of case studies. Management traffic safety in work zones assessed the suitability of the setting up of signs, markings and guardrail. Shift arrangements work during the day (peak hours) or night (off peak hour), is used as an indicator of the negative impact of road users and the environment. The analysis showed that the work zone management in the implementation of national road reconstruction projects toward green (environmentally friendly) construction concept. It is shown from the implementation of safety attributes average 68%, and the implementation of the reconstruction in the off peak hours by 55% of the projects.
