Bore Pits or Trenches in the Median

All installations which use bore pits or trenches located in the median or outer separation must include the following provisions, whether on the notice form or included in a Special Provisions page:
  • Barricades, warning signs and other devices, as needed to comply with the
    Texas Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices
    , must be installed at any excavation or other work areas within 30 feet of lanes and ramps in order to adequately warn traffic and delineate obstruction and work areas.
  • Trenches or bore pits must not be excavated where they may cause damage to roadways or to structures unless adequate and approved revetment is provided.
  • No work will be undertaken within the controlled access area until adequate arrangements are made for its prompt completion.
