Traffic Control in Northern Virginia: Frequently Asked Questions
Answers for project managers, superintendents, and procurement teams evaluating traffic control services across Fairfax, Arlington, Loudoun, and Alexandria counties.
Yes. We staff projects in Arlington, Alexandria, and Falls Church regularly. Our crews are familiar with Arlington County right-of-way procedures and Alexandria T&ES lane closure permitting. Both jurisdictions have requirements that differ from VDOT-maintained corridors, including specific detour routing approvals and inspector notification timelines. We plan for those before mobilizing.
Yes. We configure lane closures on VDOT-maintained roads per the Virginia Work Area Protection Manual and current MUTCD standards. This includes advance warning signage, taper geometry, channelizing devices, and TMA positioning. Our supervisors verify VDOT Land Use Permit conditions and closure windows before crews deploy to any state-maintained route.
Yes. Utility cuts, trenching, and directional boring are among the most common project types we support in Northern Virginia. We provide ATSSA-certified flaggers, temporary traffic control zone setup, and TMA protection for roadside utility work. Crews are available for day and night shifts depending on the permit window your project requires.
Yes. Many Fairfax County and VDOT lane closure permits restrict work to overnight or weekend windows. We staff night shifts and weekend operations routinely across Northern Virginia. Overtime rates and shift differentials are confirmed in writing before work starts. Night setups include enhanced signage, temporary lighting, and TMA coverage as conditions require.
Yes. We develop site-specific Maintenance of Traffic (MOT) and Temporary Traffic Control Plans (TCP) built to pass VDOT and county-level review. Plans include lane closure diagrams, signage placement, detour routing, and phasing sequences. We can also submit plans directly on behalf of the contractor when authorized by the permitting agency.
We need: project location (road name, nearest cross street), type of work (utility, paving, construction), estimated duration, shift requirements (day, night, weekend), and any known permit conditions. If you already have a traffic control plan or MOT document, sharing it up front gives us the fastest path to an accurate quote.
Standard scheduling is same-day or next-business-day depending on crew availability, equipment needs, and permit status. Emergency and short-notice requests are evaluated case by case. Virginia projects are staffed from our Fairfax office, which eliminates cross-state mobilization time and reduces lead time for work across Northern Virginia.
We maintain Truck Mounted Attenuators (TMAs), Variable Message Signs (VMS), arrow boards, Automated Flagger Assistance Devices (AFADs), portable traffic signals, and full MUTCD-compliant signage inventory including cones, drums, and barricades. Equipment is delivered, set up, inspected, and removed by our crews. No third-party rental coordination needed.
