Abstract	The Full Road Closure method uses facility closure and total traffic diversion, which may be for one direction or bi-directional traffic flow, to accelerate construction and reduce the negative impacts of work zones. With good planning, interagency communication, and pro-active outreach to businesses and communities, full closure can be successful and well-received. This 2 page brochure gives a brief explanation and examples of successful implementation.
